+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Don't use these functions under Linux.
+Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are
+aliases for
+.BR raise (3)
+and
+.BR signal (2),
+respectively.
+.PP
+Elsewhere, on System V-like systems, these functions implement
+software signaling, entirely independent of the classical
+.BR signal (2)
+and
+.BR kill (2)
+functions.
+The function
+.BR ssignal ()
+defines the action to take when the software signal with
+number
+.I signum
+is raised using the function
+.BR gsignal (),
+and returns the previous such action or
+.BR SIG_DFL .
+The function
+.BR gsignal ()
+does the following: if no action (or the action
+.BR SIG_DFL )
+was
+specified for
+.IR signum ,
+then it does nothing and returns 0.
+If the action
+.B SIG_IGN
+was specified for
+.IR signum ,
+then it does nothing and returns 1.
+Otherwise, it resets the action to
+.B SIG_DFL
+and calls
+the action function with argument
+.IR signum ,
+and returns the value returned by that function.
+The range of possible values
+.I signum
+varies (often 1\[en]15 or 1\[en]17).
