-''AddToMe: what's
a [Signal]
. Will do that later''
+A signal is basically
a message sent from one process to another, indicating a change of state
.
Different versions of [Unix] use different names and/or numbers for some of the lesser used signals. See the signal(7) man-page. You can find the signals and numbers used in the [POSIX] standard, in <tt>/usr/include/bits/signum.h</tt> on a [Linux] system, or by invoking <tt>kill -l</tt>.
