int PL_get_signum_ex(term_t 
t, int *sig)Extract a signal specification from a Prolog term and store as an 
integer signal number in sig. The specification is an 
integer, a lowercase signal name without SIG or the full 
signal name. These refer to the same: 9, kill 
and SIGKILL. Leaves a typed, domain or instantiation error 
if the conversion fails.
