 There are many similarities between the BSD and POSIX signal handling
 facilities, because the POSIX facilities were inspired by the BSD
 facilities.  Besides having different names for all the functions to
-avoid conflicts, the main differences between the two are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-BSD Unix represents signal masks as an @code{int} bit mask, rather than
-as a @code{sigset_t} object.
-
-@item
-The BSD facilities use a different default for whether an interrupted
-primitive should fail or resume.  The POSIX facilities make system
-calls fail unless you specify that they should resume.  With the BSD
-facility, the default is to make system calls resume unless you say they
-should fail.  @xref{Interrupted Primitives}.

-@deftp {Data Type} {struct sigvec}
-This data type is the BSD equivalent of @code{struct sigaction}
-(@pxref{Advanced Signal Handling}); it is used to specify signal actions
-to the @code{sigvec} function.  It contains the following members:
-
-@table @code
-@item sighandler_t sv_handler
-This is the handler function.
-
-@item int sv_mask
-This is the mask of additional signals to be blocked while the handler
-function is being called.
-
-@item int sv_flags
-This is a bit mask used to specify various flags which affect the
-behavior of the signal.  You can also refer to this field as
-@code{sv_onstack}.
-@end table
-@end deftp
-
-These symbolic constants can be used to provide values for the
-@code{sv_flags} field of a @code{sigvec} structure.  This field is a bit
-mask value, so you bitwise-OR the flags of interest to you together.

-@c This is mostly a safe wrapper for sigaction.  The exception are
-@c systems that lack SA_RESETHAND, in which a signal handler wrapper is
