Ruslan has added a comment above the mdoc source of signal.3 that reads
like this:
45 .\" The following is Quite Ugly, but syntactically correct.
46 .\" Don't try to
47 .\" fix it.
48 .Ft void \*(lp*
49 .Fn signal "int sig" "void \*(lp*func\*(rp\*(lpint\*(rp\*(rp\*(rp\*(lpint"
If Ruslan doesn't know of a better way to write this in mdoc, it's quite
possible that there is none. One way to write the prototype without
this strange output is with a typedef, as shown a few lines below in the
same manpage ;-)
