The `Posix.Signal` structure

The structure Posix.Signal names all the POSIX signals (cf. Section 3.3 of the POSIX standard [CITE]1003.1,1996/), and has functions to convert them to and from their POSIX numbers. For each POSIX signal SIGXXX, the Posix.Signal structure has an identifier xxx.

Description

eqtype signal
toWord si: Convert a signal identifier to its number.
fromWord i: Make a signal identifier from its number. Note that fromWord does not check that the result corresponds to valid Posix signal.
val abrt: End process (abort).
val alrm: Alarm clock.
val bus: Bus error.
val fpe: Floating-point exception.
val hup: Hangup.
val ill: Illegal instruction.
val int: Interrupt.
val kill: Kill (cannot be caught or ignored).
val pipe: Write on a pipe when there is no process to read it.
val quit: Quit.
val segv: Segmentation violation.
val term: Software termination signal.
val usr1: User-defined signal 1.
val usr2: User-defined signal 2.
val chld: To parent on child stop or exit.
val cont: Continue if stopped (cannot be caught or ignored).
val stop: Stop (cannot be caught or ignored).
val tstp: Interactive stop.
val ttin: Background read attempted from control terminal.
val ttou: Background write attempted from control terminal.
