/**
* 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
* function raises an <code>IllegalArgumentException if such an attempt
* is made.
* <li>
* When <code>Signal.handle 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) 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> * new Signal("INT");
* </blockquote>
* constructs a signal object corresponding to <code>SIGINT, which is
* typically produced when the user presses <code>Ctrl-C at the command line.
* The <code>Signal constructor throws IllegalArgumentException
* when it is passed an unknown signal.
* <p>
* This is an example of how Java code handles <code>SIGINT:
* <blockquote> * SignalHandler handler = new SignalHandler () {
* public void handle(Signal sig) {
* ... // handle SIGINT
* }
* };
* Signal.handle(new Signal("INT"), handler);
* </blockquote>
