Default       can be defined to return to the host OS with an exit status `u`, but maybe be       replaced in (unhosted) environments to perform some sort of system reset, power       cycle, or other implementation defined system reset.              > `terminate` is a good candidate, but it's unclear what it should terminate       â€” a       > thread/task, or a process, or the own process, or the own thread.              TERMINATE could have the same meaning as SIGTERM *:               SIGTERM (Terminated)        This signal is the default signal sent by kill(1) and represents a        user or administrator request that a program shut down [normally].              * Other signals result in abnormal termination.                     --       Anthony C Howe       achowe@snert.com BarricadeMX & Milters       http://nanozen.snert.com/ http://software.snert.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
