40 * An OS-independent signal() with, whenever possible, partial BSD
41 * semantics, i.e. the signal handler is restored following service
42 * of the signal, but system calls are *not* restarted, so that if
43 * "pcap_breakloop()" is called in a signal handler in a live capture,
44 * the read/recvfrom/whatever in the live capture doesn't get restarted,
45 * it returns -1 and sets "errno" to EINTR, so we can break out of the
46 * live capture loop.
47 *
48 * We use "sigaction()" if available. We don't specify that the signal
49 * should restart system calls, so that should always do what we want.
50 *
51 * Otherwise, if "sigset()" is available, it probably has BSD semantics
52 * while "signal()" has traditional semantics, so we use "sigset()"; it
53 * might cause system calls to be restarted for the signal, however.
54 * I don't know whether, in any systems where it did cause system calls to
55 * be restarted, there was a way to ask it not to do so; there may no
56 * longer be any interesting systems without "sigaction()", however,
57 * and, if there are, they might have "sigvec()" with SV_INTERRUPT
58 * (which I think first appeared in 4.3BSD).
59 *
60 * Otherwise, we use "signal()" - which means we might get traditional
61 * semantics, wherein system calls don't get restarted *but* the
62 * signal handler is reset to SIG_DFL and the signal is not blocked,
63 * so that a subsequent signal would kill the process immediately.
64 *
65 * Did I mention that signals suck? At least in POSIX-compliant systems
66 * they suck far less, as those systems have "sigaction()".
