@ -306,8 +306,10 @@ The :mod:`signal` module defines the following functions:
a library to wakeup a poll or select call, allowing the signal to be fully
processed.
The old wakeup fd is returned. *fd* must be non-blocking. It is up to the
library to remove any bytes before calling poll or select again.
The old wakeup fd is returned (or -1 if file descriptor wakeup was not
enabled). If *fd* is -1, file descriptor wakeup is disabled.
If not -1, *fd* must be non-blocking. It is up to the library to remove
any bytes from *fd* before calling poll or select again.
Use for example ``struct.unpack('%uB' % len(data), data)`` to decode the
signal numbers list.
