Note

The section on signal handling requires a Unix-like development environment (Unix, Linux, or macOS), as Microsoft Windows does not directly have the concept of signals. If you work with Windows, download a virtual machine such as Oracle VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) or use a Docker container to launch a Unix/Linux image to follow along.
