.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The signals conform to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-90 ,
|
|
with the exception of
|
|
.Dv SIGTRAP ,
|
|
.Dv SIGEMT ,
|
|
.Dv SIGBUS ,
|
|
.Dv SIGSYS ,
|
|
.Dv SIGURG ,
|
|
.Dv SIGIO ,
|
|
.Dv SIGXCPU ,
|
|
.Dv SIGXFSZ ,
|
|
.Dv SIGVTALRM ,
|
|
.Dv SIGPROF ,
|
|
.Dv SIGWINCH ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv SIGINFO
|
|
which are Berkeley extensions (available on most
|
|
.Bx Ns \-derived
|
|
systems)
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv SIGPWR
|
|
which comes from System V. On NetBSD,
|
|
.Dv SIGPWR
|
|
was introduced in version 1.4.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The current NetBSD kernel never generates the
|
|
.Dv SIGPWR
|
|
signal.
