SIGKILL/SIGSTOP can not be trapped.
Problematic code:
trap'echo "unkillable"' KILL
Correct code:
Not applicable. This is not possible.
Rationale:
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP can not be caught/ignored (according to POSIX and as implemented on platforms including Linux and FreeBSD). Trying to trap this signal has undefined results.
Exceptions:
None. If you come across one, please file an issue about it.
