/*
 * Set up a postmaster signal handler for signal "signo"
 *
 * Returns the previous handler.
 *
 * This is used only in the postmaster, which has its own odd approach to
 * signal handling.  For signals with handlers, we block all signals for the
 * duration of signal handler execution.  We also do not set the SA_RESTART
 * flag; this should be safe given the tiny range of code in which the
 * postmaster ever unblocks signals.
 *
 * pqinitmask() must have been invoked previously.
 *
 * On Windows, this function is just an alias for pqsignal()
 * (and note that it's calling the code in src/backend/port/win32/signal.c,
 * not src/port/pqsignal.c).  On that platform, the postmaster's signal
 * handlers still have to block signals for themselves.
