- Description
- Makes the user-defined function f the fatal signal handler for the current thread. When a fatal signal (that is, a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, or SIGKILL signal) is sent to the current thread, f is executed prior to the thread's termination.
- The integer argument passed to f is the number of the fatal signal.
- Note: A thread handler is not inherited by the thread's children. Note also that the
MLWorks.Threads.Internal.kill function does not send a fatal signal.
