+<entry>Symbian^3 supports POSIX signals which allows standard C applications
+to handle interrupts (hardware and software signals/events). The existing
+standard C applications are not affected by this change, unless they
+are recompiled against the updated libraries. Once the applications
+are recompiled, they will receive a SIGPIPE signal when they try to
+write to a broken pipe. Unless this signal is handled or is ignored
+using signore() method, the application terminates. For more information
+on handling POSIX signals on Symbian platform, refer to <xref href="GUID-41F33130-7968-5016-9ACE-9E9F906118DB.dita">Using POSIX Signals</xref>.</entry>
