Review: signals
Asynchronous notification to a process indicating
some action should be taken

Sending signals to a process:
kill -<signal> <pid>
int kill(pid_t pid, int sig);

We can signal individual threads, too:
int pthread_kill(thread_t tid, int sig);
What can we do with signals?
Handle them!
Default or Ignore
Custom function with sigaction

Block them!
Delay delivery with masks
Then we can sigwait to get them.
One function to rule them all
void ( *signal(int signum, void (*handler)(int)) )
(int);

But what does it all mean?
One function to rule them all
void ( *signal(int signum, void (*handler)(int)) )
(int);
