signal.h and sys/signal.h on 2.0

[Jim Jagielski]

I have uncovered something in the A/UX 2.0 header files for signals
(/usr/include/signal.h and sys/signal.h) that, if I understand typedefs
right, might be wrong.

In signal.h, signal is defined as:

	extern sigfunct_t signal();

In sys/signal.h, sigfunct_t is defined as (assume !POSIX case):

	typedef int (*sigfunct_t) ();

which means that sigfunct_t is a type that is a "pointer to a function
that returns an int."

Now this definition of sigfunct_t is fine. My concern is back in signal.h.
What we want to say is:

	int (*signal)();

which would be accomplished by:

	sigfunct_t signal;
	("signal is a pointer to a function that returns an int")

but signal.h says something different (I think...):

	sigfunct_t signal();
	("signal is a function that returns a pointer to a function that
	  returns an int")

IS THIS RIGHT??? DO I UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY???
