I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.. I'm not that faimliar
with the code and what interrupt() does.

The idea is simply to catch the signal, write a byte to the pipe,
and return from the signal handler.

Then when you're ready to handle the next "event", the signal
"event" is waiting for you when you call select().
