 Standard signals
       Linux supports the standard signals listed below.  Several signal numbers are architecture-dependent, as indicated in the "Value" column.  (Where three  values
       are  given,  the first one is usually valid for alpha and sparc, the middle one for x86, arm, and most other architectures, and the last one for mips.  (Values
       for parisc are not shown; see the Linux kernel source for signal numbering on that architecture.)  A dash (-) denotes that a signal is  absent  on  the  corre‐
       sponding architecture.

       First the signals described in the original POSIX.1-1990 standard.

       Signal     Value     Action   Comment
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       SIGHUP        1       Term    Hangup detected on controlling terminal
                                     or death of controlling process
       SIGINT        2       Term    Interrupt from keyboard
       SIGQUIT       3       Core    Quit from keyboard
       SIGILL        4       Core    Illegal Instruction

       SIGALRM      14       Term    Timer signal from alarm(2)
       SIGTERM      15       Term    Termination signal
       SIGUSR1   30,10,16    Term    User-defined signal 1
       SIGUSR2   31,12,17    Term    User-defined signal 2
       SIGCHLD   20,17,18    Ign     Child stopped or terminated
       SIGCONT   19,18,25    Cont    Continue if stopped
       SIGSTOP   17,19,23    Stop    Stop process
       SIGTSTP   18,20,24    Stop    Stop typed at terminal
       SIGTTIN   21,21,26    Stop    Terminal input for background process
       SIGTTOU   22,22,27    Stop    Terminal output for background process

       The signals SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught, blocked, or ignored.

       Next the signals not in the POSIX.1-1990 standard but described in SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001.

       Signal       Value     Action   Comment
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       SIGBUS      10,7,10     Core    Bus error (bad memory access)
       SIGPOLL                 Term    Pollable event (Sys V).
                                       Synonym for SIGIO
       SIGPROF     27,27,29    Term    Profiling timer expired
       SIGSYS      12,31,12    Core    Bad system call (SVr4);
                                       see also seccomp(2)
       SIGTRAP        5        Core    Trace/breakpoint trap

       SIGURG      16,23,21    Ign     Urgent condition on socket (4.2BSD)
       SIGVTALRM   26,26,28    Term    Virtual alarm clock (4.2BSD)
       SIGXCPU     24,24,30    Core    CPU time limit exceeded (4.2BSD);
                                       see setrlimit(2)
       SIGXFSZ     25,25,31    Core    File size limit exceeded (4.2BSD);
                                       see setrlimit(2)

       Up  to and including Linux 2.2, the default behavior for SIGSYS, SIGXCPU, SIGXFSZ, and (on architectures other than SPARC and MIPS) SIGBUS was to terminate the
       process (without a core dump).  (On some other UNIX systems the default action for SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ is to terminate the process without a core dump.)  Linux
       2.4 conforms to the POSIX.1-2001 requirements for these signals, terminating the process with a core dump.

       Next various other signals.

       Signal       Value     Action   Comment
       ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       SIGIOT         6        Core    IOT trap. A synonym for SIGABRT
       SIGEMT       7,-,7      Term    Emulator trap
       SIGSTKFLT    -,16,-     Term    Stack fault on coprocessor (unused)
       SIGIO       23,29,22    Term    I/O now possible (4.2BSD)
       SIGCLD       -,-,18     Ign     A synonym for SIGCHLD
       SIGPWR      29,30,19    Term    Power failure (System V)
       SIGINFO      29,-,-             A synonym for SIGPWR
       SIGLOST      -,-,-      Term    File lock lost (unused)
       SIGWINCH    28,28,20    Ign     Window resize signal (4.3BSD, Sun)
       SIGUNUSED    -,31,-     Core    Synonymous with SIGSYS

       (Signal 29 is SIGINFO / SIGPWR on an alpha but SIGLOST on a sparc.)

       SIGEMT  is  not  specified in POSIX.1-2001, but nevertheless appears on most other UNIX systems, where its default action is typically to terminate the process
       with a core dump.

       SIGPWR (which is not specified in POSIX.1-2001) is typically ignored by default on those other UNIX systems where it appears.

       SIGIO (which is not specified in POSIX.1-2001) is ignored by default on several other UNIX systems.

       Where defined, SIGUNUSED is synonymous with SIGSYS on most architectures.
