+ * A generic pre-select method for signal tasks.

+ * \param s Passed to para_fd_set().
+ * \param context Signal task pointer.
+ *
+ * This convenience helper is called from several programs which need to handle
+ * signals, including para_server and para_audiod. These programs define a
+ * signal task structure and set its ->pre_select method to this function which
+ * adds the file descriptor of the signal task to the set of descriptors to be
+ * watched in the next select() call.
+ *
+ * Although the second parameter must be in fact a pointer to a signal_task
+ * structure, the parameter is specified as void * here to match the
+ * ->pre_select method of struct task.
