I certainly think there should be some comments at least
about when/whether signal handlers get called and that
being separate from the return value.
The system call restart stuff does seem strange.
ISTR that was originally added for SIG_SUSPEND (^Z) so that those
signals wouldn't be seen by the appication.
But that makes it a property of the signal, not the system call.

I did read that one, I've even quoted it in the past :-)
It's just not been mentioned recently.
