Signal.handle
* function raises an IllegalArgumentException if such an attempt
* is made.
* Signal.handle is called, the VM internally registers a
* special C signal handler. There is no way to force the Java signal handler
* to run synchronously before the C signal handler returns. Instead, when the
* VM receives a signal, the special C signal handler creates a new thread
* (at priority Thread.MAX_PRIORITY) to
* run the registered Java signal handler. The C signal handler immediately
* returns. Note that because the Java signal handler runs in a newly created
* thread, it may not actually be executed until some time after the C signal
* handler returns.
* * Signal objects are created based on their names. For example: *
* new Signal("INT");
* SIGINT, which is
* typically produced when the user presses Ctrl-C at the command line.
* The Signal constructor throws IllegalArgumentException
* when it is passed an unknown signal.
*
* This is an example of how Java code handles SIGINT:
*
* SignalHandler handler = new SignalHandler () {
* public void handle(Signal sig) {
* ... // handle SIGINT
* }
* };
* Signal.handle(new Signal("INT"), handler);
* Signal objects.
*
* @param other the object to compare with.
* @return whether two Signal objects are equal.
