Ben Gras 2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

.Dt SIGSET 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm sigset
.Nd manipulate signal dispositions
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In signal.h
.\" The following is Quite Ugly, but syntactically correct. Don't try to
.\" fix it.
.Ft void \*(lp*
.Fn sigset "int sig" "void \*(lp*disp\*(rp\*(lpint\*(rp\*(rp\*(rp\*(lpint"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bf -symbolic
This interface is made obsolete by
.Xr sigaction 2
and
.Xr sigprocmask 2 .
.Ef
.Pp
The
.Fn sigset
function manipulates the disposition of the signal
.Fa sig .
The new disposition is given in
.Fa disp .
.Pp
If
.Fa disp
is one of
.Dv SIG_DFL ,
.Dv SIG_IGN ,
or the address of a handler function,
the disposition of
.Fa sig
is changed accordingly, and
.Fa sig
is removed from the process' signal mask.
Also, if
.Fa disp
is the address of a handler function,
.Fa sig
will be added to the process' signal mask during execution of the handler.
.Pp
If
.Fa disp
is equal to
.Dv SIG_HOLD ,
.Fa sig
is added to the calling process' signal mask and the disposition of
.Fa sig
remains unchanged.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, the
.Fn sigset
function returns
.Dv SIG_HOLD
if
.Fa sig
had been blocked,
and the previous disposition of
.Fa sig
if it had not been blocked.
Otherwise
.Dv SIG_ERR
is returned and
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn sigset
function will fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The argument
.Fa sig
is not a valid signal number;
or an attempt is made to ignore a signal that cannot be ignored,
such as
.Dv SIGKILL
or
.Dv SIGSTOP .
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr sigaction 2 ,
.Xr sigprocmask 2
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn sigset
function conforms to
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
It was however marked as obsolete in the
.St -p1003.1-2008
revision of the standard.
