<p><strong>Important:</strong> please read the module level documentation about signal discarding before using
this function!</p>
<p>The <code>mask</code> parameter specifies the set of signals that can be accepted via this file descriptor.</p>
<p>A signal must be blocked on every thread in a process, otherwise it won't be visible from
signalfd (the default handler will be invoked instead).</p>
<p>See <ahref="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/signalfd.2.html">the signalfd man page for more information</a></p>
