* :data:`SIG_SETMASK`: The set of blocked signals is set to the *mask*
argument.
*mask* is a list of signal numbers (e.g. [:const:`signal.SIGINT`,
:const:`signal.SIGTERM`]).
*mask* is a set of signal numbers (e.g. {:const:`signal.SIGINT`,
:const:`signal.SIGTERM`}). Use ``range(1, signal.NSIG)`` for a full mask
including all signals.
For example, ``signal.pthread_sigmask(signal.SIG_BLOCK, [])`` reads the
signal mask of the calling thread.
