+  SIGNAL WATCHERS
+    You can listen for signals using a signal watcher, "signal" is the
+    signal *name* without any "SIG" prefix. Multiple signals events can be
+    clumped together into one callback invocation, and callbakc invocation
+    might or might not be asynchronous.
+
+    These watchers might use %SIG, so programs overwriting those signals
+    directly will likely not work correctly.
+
+    Example: exit on SIGINT
+
+       my $w = AnyEvent->signal (signal => "INT", cb => sub { exit 1 });
+
+  CHILD PROCESS WATCHERS
+    You can also listen for the status of a child process specified by the
+    "pid" argument. The watcher will only trigger once. This works by
+    installing a signal handler for "SIGCHLD".
+
+    Example: wait for pid 1333
+
+      my $w = AnyEvent->child (pid => 1333, cb => sub { warn "exit status $?" });
