//! Interface for the `signalfd` syscall.
//!
//! # Signal discarding
//! When a signal can't be delivered to a process (or thread), it will become a pending signal.
//! Failure to deliver could happen if the signal is blocked by every thread in the process or if
//! the signal handler is still handling a previous signal.
//!
//! If a signal is sent to a process (or thread) that already has a pending signal of the same
//! type, it will be discarded. This means that if signals of the same type are received faster than
//! they are processed, some of those signals will be dropped. Because of this limitation,
//! `signalfd` in itself cannot be used for reliable communication between processes or threads.
//!
//! Once the signal is unblocked, or the signal handler is finished, and a signal is still pending
//! (ie. not consumed from a signalfd) it will be delivered to the signal handler.
//!
//! Please note that signal discarding is not specific to `signalfd`, but also happens with regular
//! signal handlers.
