It appears that I have been promoted to the category of luser :-).

After posting the orginal question, I did more rtfm in a book titled
_POSIX_Programmer's_Guide_ by Donald Levine.  He discussed how
to implement my requirement, pages 114-117, 412-413.  With this
background I went back to Steven's book and it turns out that there
was a discussion on how to do what I wanted to do, but it was not
as clear as it was in Levine's book.

Anyway, the answer to my question is the POSIX function call sigaction.
I have not implemented it yet, but from the two books, it looks like
it will do what I need.
