/**
 * g_unix_signal_source_new:

 * Create a #GSource that will be dispatched upon delivery of the UNIX
 * signal @signum.  Currently only <literal>SIGHUP</literal>,
 * <literal>SIGINT</literal>, and <literal>SIGTERM</literal> can
 * be monitored.  Note that unlike the UNIX default, all sources which
 * have created a watch will be dispatched, regardless of which
 * underlying thread invoked g_unix_signal_source_new().
 *
 * For example, an effective use of this function is to handle <literal>SIGTERM</literal>
 * cleanly; flushing any outstanding files, and then calling
 * g_main_loop_quit ().  It is not safe to do any of this a regular
 * UNIX signal handler; your handler may be invoked while malloc() or
 * another library function is running, causing reentrancy if you
 * attempt to use it from the handler.  None of the GLib/GObject API
 * is safe against this kind of reentrancy.
 *
 * The interaction of this source when combined with native UNIX
 * functions like sigprocmask() is not defined.
 *
 * The source will not initially be associated with any #GMainContext
 * and must be added to one with g_source_attach() before it will be
 * executed.
