Agree with Daniel this is good documentation.

But I don't see mention of the word 'signal' anywhere. The signal stuff
is one of the trickiest parts this code being added. It would be great if
that could be documented and even with example code or at least a
description of why it's required and can't be done some other way.

Does something like io_uring require signals in such cases?

Thanks,
Nick
