Regarding SIGNALS, I would like to know how to implement POSIX signals,
especially SIGIO, to be used as delegates. This is necessary for
asynchronous communication of a microcontroller connected to the serial

I know how tempting it might be to use SIGIO, stay away from it. SIGIO
is one of these things in POSIX that was added because someone was
bored. There are other tools to implement these things (see sys/select.h
and aio.h).
