Chapter 15. Signals
The execution of a program normally proceeds synchronously, with each step following the previous one. Sometimes actions must be executed immediately by interrupting this flow of execution. This may be a request to terminate the program or to process some new action. UNIX provides for this capability with signals.
In this chapter you will learn how to
Create and manage signal sets
Catch signals
