29.1

This flag indicates that the jump buffer has
been set by sigsetjmp (Figure 29.10). While
the flag may seem superfluous, there is a chance that the signal
can be delivered after the signal handler is established, but
before the call to sigsetjmp. Even if the program doesn't
cause the signal to be generated, signals can be generated in other
ways, such as with the kill command.
