Hi. I'm running on FreeBSD 2.0 (FWIW)
I have run into a discrepency between the man pages for "signal"
and observed (and remembered) behavior.
The function being installed as the signal handler (to memory and
on other systems and in practice on FreeBSD) takes an "int" argument.
The man pages say that it takes "void" (ie. no argument).
Is the man page incorrect, or is it an optional argument, or what?
Thanx for the info.
