That was initially USR1 and USR2 as process signals, well, at least across binutils and coreutils.
I just wish that UNIX architecture or POSIX would have been modernized since then, like with JSONL based process communication or similar things.
In Go I usually end up building my own JSONL protocol to marshal/unmarshal states between long running processes. Wish that could've been a POSIX standard.
