 * IDENTIFICATION
 *    src/port/pqsignal.c
 *
 *  We now assume that all Unix-oid systems have POSIX sigaction(2)
 *  with support for restartable signals (SA_RESTART).  We used to also
 *  support BSD-style signal(2), but there really shouldn't be anything
 *  out there anymore that doesn't have the POSIX API.
 *
 *  Windows, of course, is resolutely in a class by itself.  In the backend,
 *  we don't use this file at all; src/backend/port/win32/signal.c provides
 *  pqsignal() for the backend environment.  Frontend programs can use
 *  this version of pqsignal() if they wish, but beware that this does
 *  not provide restartable signals on Windows.
