/*
 * This version of pqsignal() exists only because pre-9.3 releases
 * of libpq exported pqsignal(), and some old client programs still
 * depend on that.  (Since 9.3, clients are supposed to get it from
 * libpgport instead.)
 *
 * Because it is only intended for backwards compatibility, we freeze it
 * with the semantics it had in 9.2; in particular, this has different
 * behavior for SIGALRM than the version in src/port/pqsignal.c.
 *
 * libpq itself does not use this, nor does anything else in our code.
 *
 * src/include/port.h #define's pqsignal as pqsignal_fe or pqsignal_be,
 * but here we want to export just plain "pqsignal".  We can't rely on
 * port.h's extern declaration either.  (The point of those #define's
 * is to ensure that no in-tree code accidentally calls this version.)
