+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR bsd_signal ()
+function takes the same arguments, and performs the same task, as
+.BR signal (2).
+.PP
+The difference between the two is that
+.BR bsd_signal ()
+is guaranteed to provide reliable signal semantics, that is:
+a) the disposition of the signal is not reset to the default
+when the handler is invoked;
+b) delivery of further instances of the signal is blocked while
+the signal handler is executing; and
+c) if the handler interrupts a blocking system call,
+then the system call is automatically restarted.
+A portable application cannot rely on
+.BR signal (2)
+to provide these guarantees.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR bsd_signal ()
+function returns the previous value of the signal handler, or
+.B SIG_ERR
+on error.
+.SH ERRORS
+As for
+.BR signal (2).

+.SH VERSIONS
+Use of
+.BR bsd_signal ()
+should be avoided; use
+.BR sigaction (2)
+instead.
+.PP
+On modern Linux systems,
+.BR bsd_signal ()
+and
+.BR signal (2)
+are equivalent.
+But on older systems,
+.BR signal (2)
+provided unreliable signal semantics; see
+.BR signal (2)
+for details.
+.PP
+The use of
+.I sighandler_t
+is a GNU extension;
+this type is defined only if the
+.B _GNU_SOURCE
+feature test macro is defined.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH HISTORY
+4.2BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
+Removed in POSIX.1-2008,
+recommending the use of
+.BR sigaction (2)
+instead.
