In addition to that, if a manpage is called signal(3) (in the sense of .Nm signal and maybe .Dt SIGNAL) that doesn't mean it's about the header <signal.h> = .In signal.h. It means it is about the function signal() = .Fn signal. Even if we would have a sigignore() function, it might be documented in a separate sigignore(3) manual. Yours, Ingo
