* with prefixed <tt>'-'</tt>,
* each process group with group ID +id+ is signalled.

* The actual signal values are platform dependent, an example of
* signal names which are supported on many platforms are:
*
* - +SIGHUP+: Hang up controlling terminal or process.
* - +SIGINT+: \Interrupt from keyboard, Ctrl-C by default in general.
* - +SIGQUIT+: Quit from keyboard, Ctrl-\ by default in general.
* - +SIGILL+: Illegal instruction.
* - +SIGTRAP+: Breakpoint for debugging.
* - +SIGIOT+: Abnormal termination.
* - +SIGBUS+: Bus error.
* - +SIGFPE+: Floating-point exception.
* - +SIGKILL+: Forced-process termination.
* - +SIGUSR1+: Available to processes.
* - +SIGSEGV+: Invalid memory reference.
* - +SIGUSR2+: Available to processes.
* - +SIGPIPE+: Write to pipe with no readers.
* - +SIGALRM+: Real-timer clock.
* - +SIGTERM+: \Process termination.
* - +SIGCHLD+: Child process stopped or terminated or got a signal if traced.
* - +SIGCONT+: Resume execution, if stopped.
* - +SIGSTOP+: Stop process execution, Ctrl-Z by default in general.
* - +SIGTSTP+: Stop process issued from tty.
* - +SIGTTIN+: Background process requires input.
* - +SIGTTOU+: Background process requires output.
* - +SIGURG+: Urgent condition on socket.
* - +SIGXCPU+: CPU time limit exceeded.
* - +SIGXFSZ+: File size limit exceeded.
* - +SIGVTALRM+: Virtual timer clock.
* - +SIGPROF+: Profile timer clock.
* - +SIGWINCH+: Window resizing.
* - +SIGPOLL+: I/O now possible.
* - +SIGPWR+: Power supply failure.
* - +SIGSYS+, +SIGUNUSED+: Bad system call.
*
* Use Signal.list to see which signals are supported, and the actual
* values.
* Use method Signal.list to see which signals are supported
* by Ruby on the underlying platform;
* the method returns a hash of the string names
* and non-negative integer values of the supported signals.
* The size and content of the returned hash varies widely
* among platforms.
*
* Additionally, signal +0+ is useful to determine if the process exists.

While Signal.list contains "EXIT"=>0 pair, its meaning differs in Process.kill.
We should keep this paragraph.

Revised.

* Example:
*
* pid = fork do
* Signal.trap("HUP") { puts "Ouch!"; exit }
* Signal.trap('HUP') { puts 'Ouch!'; exit }
* # ... do some work ...
* end
* # ...
* Process.kill("HUP", pid)
* Process.kill('HUP', pid)
* Process.wait
