Signal Handling <signal.h>

The signal-handling package enables the programmer to create traps for various signals. These events do not arise spontaneously when using Diamond, but have to be raised by the appropriate function call.  This is an ANSI-compliant implementation, by the way; see section 4.7 of the Standard.

The header defines macros that are used as identifiers for the signals that can be raised, and others which define the action to be taken when a signal is raised; see the synopses in the list of functions.
