       The signal handler which may be the name of a user created function,

       <constant>SIG_IGN</constant> or <constant>SIG_DFL</constant>. 
      </para>
      <note>
       <para>
        Note that when you set a handler to an object method, that object's
        reference count is increased which makes it persist until you either
        change the handler to something else, or your script ends.

        As of PHP 4.3.0 PCNTL uses ticks as the signal handle callback
        mechanism, which is much faster than the previous mechanism. This
        change follows the same semantics as using
        "<link linkend="control-structures.declare.ticks">user ticks</link>".
        You must use the <link
        linkend="control-structures.declare">declare()</link> statement to
        specify the locations in your program where callbacks are allowed to
        occur for the signal handler to function properly (as used in the
        above example).
