• This function is missing on some platforms: Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.11, IRIX 5.3, Solaris 2.4, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
• On Linux/glibc platforms before the advent of NPTL, signals could only be sent to one particular thread. In POSIX, signals are sent to the entire process and executed by any thread of the process that happens to have the particular signal currently unblocked.
