The signal-handling feature of the SAS/C library is a collection of library functions that enables you to handle unexpected conditions and interrupts during execution of a C program. Using this facility, you can
Starting with Release 6.00, the SAS/C library provides UNIX System Services (USS) and POSIX support for signal handling. Consequently, many new signals and signal-handling functions have been added to the library. Wherever possible, the SAS/C library preserves the behavior of previously existing signal-handling programs and treats POSIX signals and non-POSIX signals similarly. Where the POSIX definition of a signal and the SAS/C definition differ, a choice of behavior is offered on a per-signal basis.
