> Renaming things is fine, but please try not to break it :-) i'm not sure i agree with any of the proposals here for renaming. these are well entrenched names and concepts here and i don't think we should rename them without significant consideration. i've never had problems with this code because of the terms, and if they all change away from what history and others use, i don't see what the benefit is. Maybe Someone^TM could write a man page explaining the signal delivery mechanism, including a flow diagram of all these functions and descriptions of their respective contracts (as they are today, not as they were in 4.4BSD). If someone wanted to explain it all to me in the form of a long and rambly email, which should be easily written by someone familiar with the code, I would volunteer to turn that into an organized man page.
