.SH DESCRIPTION
Don't use these functions under Linux.
Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are
aliases for
-.BR raise ()

and
-.BR signal (),

respectively.

Elsewhere, on System V-like systems, these functions implement

-signal and kill functions. The function

+The function
.BR ssignal ()
defines the action to take when the software signal with
number

is raised using the function
.BR gsignal (),
