+/* Set up ACTION so that it is invoked on C stack overflow and on other,
+   stack-unrelated, segmentation violation.
+   Return -1 (setting errno) if this cannot be done.
+
+   When a stack overflow or segmentation violation occurs:
+   1) ACTION is called.  It is passed an argument equal to
+        - 0, for a stack overflow,
+        - SIGSEGV, for a segmentation violation that does not appear related
+          to stack overflow.
+      On many platforms the two cases are hard to distinguish; when in doubt,
+      zero is passed.
+   2) If ACTION returns, a message is written to standard error, and the
+      program is terminated: in the case of stack overflow, with exit code
+      exit_failure (see "exitfail.h"), otherwise through a signal SIGSEGV.
+
+   A null ACTION acts like an action that does nothing.
+
+   ACTION must be async-signal-safe.  ACTION together with its callees
+   must not require more than SIGSTKSZ bytes of stack space.  Also,
+   ACTION should not call longjmp, because this implementation does
+   not guarantee that it is safe to return to the original stack.
+
+   This function may install a handler for the SIGSEGV signal or for the SIGBUS
+   signal or exercise other system dependent exception handling APIs.  */
