+
+   Suspend execution of the calling thread until the delivery of one of the
+   signals specified in the signal set *sigset*.  The function accepts the
+   signal and removes it from the pending list of signals. If one of the
+   signals in *sigset* is already pending for the calling thread, the function
+   will return immediately with information about that signal. The signal
+   handler is not called for the delivered signal. The function raises an
+   :exc:`OSError` with error number set to :const:`errno.EINTR` if it is
+   interrupted by a signal that is not in *sigset*.
+
+   The return value is an object representing the data contained in the
+   :c:type:`siginfo_t` structure, namely: :attr:`si_signo`, :attr:`si_code`,
+   :attr:`si_errno`, :attr:`si_pid`, :attr:`si_uid`, :attr:`si_status`,

+
+   Like :func:`sigtimedwait`, but takes a tuple of ``(seconds, nanoseconds)``
+   as an additional argument specifying a timeout. If both *timeout_sec* and
+   *timeout_nsec* are specified as :const:`0`, a poll is performed. Returns
+   :const:`None` if a timeout occurs.
