Each signal has signal handler function
- 10, 12 is slot for user-defined signal
- When a process executes a signal-handler function, it blocks the signal until the handler terminates.
- Every process should know where the handler function is in Process Descriptor.
- All pending signals are processed before go back to user mode (When return from interrupt or exception including system call).
- Signal may remain pending for an unpredictable amount of time.
