> Signals 9 and 15 and much more well known by their respective value than their symbolic name. They are everywhere in program output and log files I have never written a program that outputs a signal number to stderr or a log file. And grepping the logs on a server with nearly 800 days of uptime, I can find only five references to signal 15, from months ago. > It's like if you have touched computer code in any language then you probably know that 65 is A. [..] a programmer who never stumbled on ascii codes must have lived in an unusually insular bubble. 20 years of programming and doing things like making custom fonts. I couldn't remember the ascii code of 'A'.
