+@node Readline Signal Handling
+@section Readline Signal Handling
+
+Signals are asynchronous events sent to a process by the Unix kernel,
+sometimes on behalf of another process. They are intended to indicate
+exceptional events, like a user pressing the interrupt key on his
+terminal, or a network connection being broken. There is a class of
+signals that can be sent to the process currently reading input from
+the keyboard. Since Readline changes the terminal attributes when it
+is called, it needs to perform special processing when a signal is
+received to restore the terminal to a sane state, or provide application
+writers with functions to do so manually.
+
+Readline contains an internal signal handler that is installed for a
+number of signals (@code{SIGINT}, @code{SIGQUIT}, @code{SIGTERM},
+@code{SIGALRM}, @code{SIGTSTP}, @code{SIGTTIN}, and @code{SIGTTOU}).
+When one of these signals is received, the signal handler
+will reset the terminal attributes to those that were in effect before
+@code{readline ()} was called, reset the signal handling to what it was
+before @code{readline ()} was called, and resend the signal to the calling
+application.
+If and when the calling application's signal handler returns, Readline
+will reinitialize the terminal and continue to accept input.
+When a @code{SIGINT} is received, the Readline signal handler performs
+some additional work, which will cause any partially-entered line to be
+aborted (see the description of @code{rl_free_line_state ()}).
+
+There is an additional Readline signal handler, for @code{SIGWINCH}, which
+the kernel sends to a process whenever the terminal's size changes (for
+example, if a user resizes an @code{xterm}). The Readline @code{SIGWINCH}
+handler updates Readline's internal screen size state, and then calls any
+@code{SIGWINCH} signal handler the calling application has installed.
+Readline calls the application's @code{SIGWINCH} signal handler without
+resetting the terminal to its original state. If the application's signal
+handler does more than update its idea of the terminal size and return (for
+example, a @code{longjmp} back to a main processing loop), it @emph{must}
+call @code{rl_cleanup_after_signal ()} (described below), to restore the
+terminal state.
+
+Readline provides two variables that allow application writers to
+control whether or not it will catch certain signals and act on them
+when they are received. It is important that applications change the
+values of these variables only when calling @code{readline ()}, not in
+a signal handler, so Readline's internal signal state is not corrupted.
+
+@deftypevar int rl_catch_signals
+If this variable is non-zero, Readline will install signal handlers for
+@code{SIGINT}, @code{SIGQUIT}, @code{SIGTERM}, @code{SIGALRM},
+@code{SIGTSTP}, @code{SIGTTIN}, and @code{SIGTTOU}.
+
+The default value of @code{rl_catch_signals} is 1.
+@end deftypevar
+
+@deftypevar int rl_catch_sigwinch
+If this variable is non-zero, Readline will install a signal handler for
+@code{SIGWINCH}.
+
+The default value of @code{rl_catch_sigwinch} is 1.
+@end deftypevar
+
+If an application does not wish to have Readline catch any signals, or
+to handle signals other than those Readline catches (@code{SIGHUP},
+for example),
+Readline provides convenience functions to do the necessary terminal
+and internal state cleanup upon receipt of a signal.
+
+@deftypefun void rl_cleanup_after_signal (void)
+This function will reset the state of the terminal to what it was before
+@code{readline ()} was called, and remove the Readline signal handlers for

+@end deftypefun
+
+@deftypefun void rl_free_line_state (void)
+This will free any partial state associated with the current input line
+(undo information, any partial history entry, any partially-entered

+This will reinitialize the terminal and reinstall any Readline signal

+If non-zero, then this is the address of a function to call when
+completing a word would normally display the list of possible matches.
+This function is called in lieu of Readline displaying the list.
+It takes three arguments:
+(@code{char **}@var{matches}, @code{int} @var{num_matches}, @code{int} @var{max_length})
+where @var{matches} is the array of matching strings,
+@var{num_matches} is the number of strings in that array, and
+@var{max_length} is the length of the longest string in that array.
+Readline provides a convenience function, @code{rl_display_match_list},
+that takes care of doing the display to Readline's output stream. That
+function may be called from this hook.
