/**
 * gimp_signal_private:
 * @signum: Selects signal to be handled see man 5 signal (or man 7 signal)
 * @handler: Handler that maps to signum. Invoked by O/S.
 *           Handler gets signal that caused invocation. Corresponds
 *           to the @sa_handler field of the @sigaction struct.
 * @flags: Preferences. OR'ed SA_&lt;xxx&gt;. See man sigaction. Corresponds
 *         to the @sa_flags field of the @sigaction struct.
 *
 * This function furnishes a workalike for signal(2) but
 * which internally invokes sigaction(2) after certain
 * sa_flags are set; these primarily to ensure restarting
 * of interrupted system calls. See sigaction(2)  It is a
 * aid to transition and not new development: that effort
 * should employ sigaction directly. [gosgood 18.04.2000]
 *
 * Cause @handler to be run when @signum is delivered.  We
 * use sigaction(2) rather than signal(2) so that we can control the
 * signal handler's environment completely via @flags: some signal(2)
 * implementations differ in their sematics, so we need to nail down
 * exactly what we want. [austin 06.04.2000]
 *
 * Returns: A reference to the signal handling function which was
 *          active before the call to gimp_signal_private().
