Source code for gevent.signal

"""
Cooperative implementation of special cases of :func:`signal.signal`.

This module is designed to work with libev's child watchers, as used
by default in :func:`gevent.os.fork` Note that each ``SIGCHLD``
handler will be run in a new greenlet when the signal is delivered
(just like :class:`gevent.hub.signal`)

The implementations in this module are only monkey patched if
:func:`gevent.os.waitpid` is being used (the default) and if
:const:`signal.SIGCHLD` is available; see :func:`gevent.os.fork` for
information on configuring this not to be the case for advanced uses.

.. versionadded:: 1.1b4
.. versionchanged:: 1.5a4
   Previously there was a backwards compatibility alias
   ``gevent.signal``, introduced in 1.1b4, that partly shadowed this
   module, confusing humans and static analysis tools alike. That alias
   has been removed. (See `gevent.signal_handler`.)

However, on Python 2, use of ``os.popen`` will fail. .. versionchanged:: 1.1rc2 Allow using ``SIG_IGN`` and ``SIG_DFL`` to reset and ignore ``SIGCHLD``.
