 24.3 Specifying Signal Actions
 ==============================
 
 The simplest way to change the action for a signal is to use the
 `signal' function.  You can specify a built-in action (such as to
 ignore the signal), or you can "establish a handler".
 
    The GNU library also implements the more versatile `sigaction'
 facility.  This section describes both facilities and gives suggestions
 on which to use when.
