Signals view

The Signals view.

The view contains the following fields:

Name
The name of the signal.
Pass
The debugger can filter out signals. If the signal is set to no, the debugger prevents it from reaching your program.
Suspend
Upon receipt of a signal, the debugger can suspend your program as if it reached a breakpoint. Thus, you can step through your code and watch how your program handles the signal.
