SigAction is a C++ wrapper around sigaction structure

Class SigAction implements a C++ wrapper around
struct sigaction. It class also provides a range of all possible 
operation that can be performed on it, including sigaction(2) system call.

struct sigaction is defined as:

<pre>
   struct sigaction {
       void      (*sa_handler) ();
       sigset_t  sa_mask;
       int       sa_flags;
       void      (*sa_sigaction) (int, siginfo_t*, void*);
   };
</pre>

It is used to set all the details of what your process should do when
a signal arrives. It encapsulates the action to be taken on receipt
of a particular signal.

The most important member is sa_handler, which takes a pointer
to a function. This function will be invoked whenever the process gets
a particular POSIX.1 signal.

Some of the member function of SigAction class take a parameter
of type C_SIG_HANDLER. 

It can be one of:
   - "C" signal handling function (sa_handler above):\n
      void sig_handler (int signum)
   - SIG_ERR 
   - SIG DFL takes default signal action when caught
   - SIG_IGN ignores signal (for those that can be ignored)

The sa_mask mask for the signal action specifies a set of signals 
to be blocked while the signal handler is active. 
On the entry into the signal handler,
that set of signals is added to a set of signals already being
blocked from delivery when the signal is delivered to the process. 
In addition, the signal that caused the handler to be executed will also
be blocked (SIGSTOP and SIGKILL cannot be blocked - this is enforced 
by the underlying OS).

Flags sa_flags in the set of flags ORed that allows to modify 
the delivery of the signal. 
POSIX.1 spec. defines only SA_NOCLDSTOP flag. All other
flags are system-dependent. Consult your local sigaction(2)
man page for details.

Because SigAction is a wrapper around sigaction(2),
after sig_handler returns (and before anything else), the OS
will reinstall current disposition for the signal. To reset signal's 
disposition to SIG_DFL, SUN Solaris OS uses flag SA_RESETHAND, and Linux OS
uses SA_ONESHOT.
