Signals are an important interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism of the OS that is currently missing from the I/O chapter. It would be nice to have:

  • a brief reading material describing the importance of sending, receiving, and ignoring signals, and the API.
  • a task that builds on the previous examples, maybe something along the lines of sending SIGINT, ignoring SIGHUP, or attempting to handle SIGESGV.

Signals should also be mentioned in the lecture slides.
