+
+DESCRIPTION
+<<signal, raise>> provide a simple signal/raise implementation for embedded
+targets.
+
+<<signal>> allows you to request changed treatment for a particular
+signal <[sig]>. You can use one of the predefined macros <<SIG_DFL>>
+(select system default handling) or <<SIG_IGN>> (ignore this signal)
+as the value of <[func]>; otherwise, <[func]> is a function pointer
+that identifies a subroutine in your program as the handler for this signal.
+
+Some of the execution environment for signal handlers is
+unpredictable; notably, the only library function required to work
+correctly from within a signal handler is @code{signal} itself, and
+only when used to redefine the handler for the current signal value.
+
+Static storage is likewise unreliable for signal handlers, with one
+exception: if you declare a static storage location as `<<volatile
+sig_atomic_t>>', then you may use that location in a signal handler to
+store signal values.
+
+If your signal handler terminates using <<return>> (or implicit
+return), your program's execution continues at the point
+where it was when the signal was raised (whether by your program
+itself, or by an external event). Signal handlers can also
+use functions such as <<exit>> and <<abort>> to avoid returning.
+
+<<raise>> sends the signal sig to the executing program. It returns zero if
+successful, non-zero if unsuccessful.
+
+The alternate functions <<_signal_r, _raise_r>> are the reentrant versions.
+The extra argument <[reent]> is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
+
+
+@c FIXME: do we have setjmp.h and assoc fns?
+
+RETURNS
+If your request for a signal handler cannot be honored, the result is
+<<SIG_ERR>>; a specific error number is also recorded in <<errno>>.
+
+Otherwise, the result is the previous handler (a function pointer or
+one of the predefined macros).
+
+PORTABILITY
+ANSI C requires <<raise>>, <<signal>>.
+
+No supporting OS subroutines are required to link with <<signal>>, but
+it will not have any useful effects, except for software generated signals,
+without an operating system that can actually raise exceptions.

+@node Signals
+@chapter Signal Handling (@file{signal.h})
+
+A @dfn{signal} is an event that interrupts the normal flow of control
+in your program. Your operating environment normally defines the full
+set of signals available (see @file{sys/signal.h}), as well as the
+default means of dealing with them---typically, either printing an
+error message and aborting your program, or ignoring the signal.
+
+All systems support at least the following signals:
+@table @code
+@item SIGABRT
+Abnormal termination of a program; raised by the <<abort>> function.
+
+@item SIGFPE
+A domain error in arithmetic, such as overflow, or division by zero.
+
+@item SIGILL
+Attempt to execute as a function data that is not executable.
+
+@item SIGINT
+Interrupt; an interactive attention signal.
+
+@item SIGSEGV
+An attempt to access a memory location that is not available.
+
+@item SIGTERM
+A request that your program end execution.
+@end table
+
+Two functions are available for dealing with asynchronous
+signals---one to allow your program to send signals to itself (this is
+called @dfn{raising} a signal), and one to specify subroutines (called
+@dfn{handlers} to handle particular signals that you anticipate may
+occur---whether raised by your own program or the operating environment.
+
+To support these functions, @file{signal.h} defines three macros:
+
+@table @code
+@item SIG_DFL
+Used with the @code{signal} function in place of a pointer to a
+handler subroutine, to select the operating environment's default
+handling of a signal.
+
+@item SIG_IGN
+Used with the @code{signal} function in place of a pointer to a
+handler, to ignore a particular signal.
+
+@item SIG_ERR
+Returned by the @code{signal} function in place of a pointer to a
+handler, to indicate that your request to set up a handler could not
+be honored for some reason.
+@end table
+
+@file{signal.h} also defines an integral type, @code{sig_atomic_t}.
+This type is not used in any function declarations; it exists only to
+allow your signal handlers to declare a static storage location where
+they may store a signal value. (Static storage is not otherwise
+reliable from signal handlers.)
+
+@menu
+* raise:: Send a signal
+* signal:: Specify handler subroutine for a signal
+@end menu
