SIGNAL — Signal handling subroutine (or function)

Description

SIGNAL(NUMBER, HANDLER [, STATUS]) causes external subroutine HANDLER to be executed with a single integer argument when signal NUMBER occurs. If HANDLER is an integer, it can be used to turn off handling of signal NUMBER or revert to its default action. See signal(2).

If SIGNAL is called as a subroutine and the STATUS argument is supplied, it is set to the value returned by signal(2).

STATUS = SIGNAL(NUMBER, HANDLER)

HANDLERSignal handler (INTEGER FUNCTION or SUBROUTINE) or dummy/global INTEGER scalar. INTEGER. It is INTENT(IN).
STATUS (Optional) STATUS shall be a scalar integer. It has INTENT(OUT).

Return value

The SIGNAL function returns the value returned by signal(2).
