Description
The proc:::signal-handle probe's description currently says:
Probe that fires immediately before a thread handles a signal. The
signal-handle probe fires in the context of the thread that will
handle the signal. The signal number is in args[0]. A pointer to the
siginfo_t structure that corresponds to the signal is in args[1]. The
address of the signal handler in the process is in args[2].
It should mention that args[1] may be NULL (if there is no siginfo available,
or the signal handler was not set with the SA_SIGINFO flag). You might also
want to mention that args[2] may be different from the signal handler set
in the process.
Perhaps something like:
...
siginfo_t structure that corresponds to the signal (or NULL if it is not
available) is in args[1]. The address of the signal handler in the process
...
(I couldn't figure out a simple way to add the second point; perhaps a
footnote?)
