/**
 * This class provides ANSI/ISO C signal support. A Java program can register
 * signal handlers for the current process. There are two restrictions:
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Java code cannot register a handler for signals that are already used
 * by the Java VM implementation. The <code>Signal.handle</code>
 * function raises an <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> if such an attempt
 * is made.
 * <li>
 * When <code>Signal.handle</code> is called, the VM internally registers a
 * special C signal handler. There is no way to force the Java signal handler
 * to run synchronously before the C signal handler returns. Instead, when the
 * VM receives a signal, the special C signal handler creates a new thread
 * (at priority <code>Thread.MAX_PRIORITY</code>) to
 * run the registered Java signal handler. The C signal handler immediately
 * returns. Note that because the Java signal handler runs in a newly created
 * thread, it may not actually be executed until some time after the C signal
 * handler returns.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Signal objects are created based on their names. For example:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * new Signal("INT");
 * </blockquote></pre>
 * constructs a signal object corresponding to <code>SIGINT</code>, which is
 * typically produced when the user presses <code>Ctrl-C</code> at the command line.
 * The <code>Signal</code> constructor throws <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>
 * when it is passed an unknown signal.
 * <p>
 * This is an example of how Java code handles <code>SIGINT</code>:
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * SignalHandler handler = new SignalHandler () {
 *     public void handle(Signal sig) {
 *       ... // handle SIGINT
 *     }
 * };
 * Signal.handle(new Signal("INT"), handler);
 * </blockquote></pre>
