       I am sure if I understand this. Suppose some process is running
and I press Ctrl + C, the process receives a SIGINT. The user
triggered the SIGINT, but did not actually send it to that process. So
which sends the signal ? The C library might have the behaviour etc.
defined, but it is the kernel that actually sends that signal to a
process, right ? Just asking as I am a little confused with the
statement "Signals are not sent by the kernel".  Thanks
