/**
 * Handle signals.
 *
 * This class reads \c int values from a file descriptor and dispatches sends
 * Qt signals according to the \c SIG... value the integer represents.
 * The purpose of this mechanism is to integrate (asynchronous) Unix signal
 * handling into the synchronous event-driven Qt main loop. The main() function
 * is expected to open a socket pair and install handlers for all relevant signals
 * that simply write the number of the signal to that pipe.
 *
 * If allowUnauthenticatedKilling() has not been called, this class only accepts
 * signal numbers that are sent by the same process.
