Bug#2245: signal(7) has many errors



Package: manpages
Version: 1.8-1

man 7 signal has a number of entries which disagree with the 1.2.13
linux/signal.h:

First, the manpage is wrong as follows:
       SIGUNUSED   |     7 | AG     | Unused signal
#define SIGBUS		 7
       SIGTSTOP    |    19 | DEF    | Stop process
#define SIGSTOP		19
       SIGIO       |    23 | AG     | I/O error
#define SIGURG		23
#define SIGIO		29
       SIGWINCH    |    29 | BG     | Window resize signal
#define SIGWINCH	28

Second, the man page is missing:
#define SIGPOLL		SIGIO
#define SIGPWR		30
#define	SIGUNUSED	31

but these are less important than the incorrect names and values
above.
