POSIX vs Standard C

Some POSIX functions are mentioned without it being clear that they are not part of the C standard library. kill and sigaction are part of POSIX (but POSIX prescribes that they be defined in signal.h).

I'm not sure whether POSIX-specific C signal handling should be in scope for this article. I am not aware of an existing article which covers it. Maybe it would be more relevant in Signal (IPC)#POSIX Signals. If not, we should at least split POSIX-specific information into its own section within this article.
