 /* Emacs can read input using SIGIO and buffering characters itself,
    or using CBREAK mode and making C-g cause SIGINT.
    The choice is controlled by the variable interrupt_input.
+
    Define INTERRUPT_INPUT to make interrupt_input = 1 the default (use SIGIO)
 
+   Emacs uses the presence or absence of the SIGIO macro to indicate
+   whether or not signal-driven I/O is possible.  It uses
+   INTERRUPT_INPUT to decide whether to use it by default.
+
    SIGIO can be used only on systems that implement it (4.2 and 4.3).
    CBREAK mode has two disadvatages
      1) At least in 4.2, it is impossible to handle the Meta key properly.
