The signal handler. This may be either a <type>callable</type>, which
will be invoked to handle the signal, or either of the two global
constants <constant>SIG_IGN</constant> or <constant>SIG_DFL</constant>,
which will ignore the signal or restore the default signal handler
respectively.

If a <type>callable</type> is given, it must implement the following

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.

<entry>
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
example below).
