/**
* gimp_signal_private:
* @signum: Selects signal to be handled see man 5 signal (or man 7 signal)
* @handler: Handler that maps to signum. Invoked by O/S.
* Handler gets signal that caused invocation. Corresponds
* to the @sa_handler field of the @sigaction struct.
* @flags: Preferences. OR'ed SA_<xxx>. See man sigaction. Corresponds
* to the @sa_flags field of the @sigaction struct.
*
* This function furnishes a workalike for signal(2) but
* which internally invokes sigaction(2) after certain
* sa_flags are set; these primarily to ensure restarting
* of interrupted system calls. See sigaction(2) It is a
* aid to transition and not new development: that effort
* should employ sigaction directly. [gosgood 18.04.2000]
*
* Cause @handler to be run when @signum is delivered. We
* use sigaction(2) rather than signal(2) so that we can control the
* signal handler's environment completely via @flags: some signal(2)
* implementations differ in their sematics, so we need to nail down
* exactly what we want. [austin 06.04.2000]
*
* Returns: A reference to the signal handling function which was
* active before the call to gimp_signal_private().
