# 1.34 11-May-2003 kleink

Rather than printing the definition of struct sigaction literally,
change the description to name its members. This has the effect
of discouraging (non-portable) structure assignments of struct
sigaction, as well as making life easier when sa_sigaction is added.

As prompted by Thomas Klausner, add a sentence on sigset_t and sigsetops()
to the introduction.

sigaction.
