- This utility function specifies a file descriptor to which the signal number
- is written as a single byte whenever a signal is received. *fd* must be
- non-blocking. It returns the previous such file descriptor.

- On Windows, the function only supports socket handles.

This is equivalent to :func:`signal.set_wakeup_fd` in Python, but without any
error checking. *fd* should be a valid file descriptor. The function should
only be called from the main thread.
