+
+On some targets, @value{GDBN} can inspect extra signal information
+associated with the intercepted signal, before it is actually
+delivered to the program being debugged.  This information is exported
+by the convenience variable @code{$_siginfo}, and consists of data
+that is passed by the kernel to the signal handler at the time of the
+receipt of a signal.  The data type of the information itself is
+target dependent.  You can see the data type using the @code{ptype
+$_siginfo} command.  On Unix systems, it typically corresponds to the
+standard @code{siginfo_t} type, as defined in the @file{signal.h}
+system header.
