About this document
Understanding Signals in Unix by Amen Abatemame is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Signals are used for inter-process communication in Unix/POSIX systems. A signal notifies a process of an event like an error or user input. Common signals include SIGINT for Ctrl-C, SIGTSTP for Ctrl-Z, and SIGPIPE for writing to a closed pipe. Signals are delivered asynchronously from the kernel to notify a process of exceptions or events.
