+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The QSignal class can be used to send signals for classes that don't inherit QObject.
+.PP
+If you want to send signals from a class that does not inherit QObject, you can create an internal QSignal object to emit the signal. You must also provide a function that connects the signal to an outside object slot. This is how we have implemented signals in the QMenuData class, which is not a QObject.
+.PP
+In general, we recommend inheriting QObject instead. QObject provides much more functionality.
+.PP
+You can set a single QVariant parameter for the signal with setValue().
+.PP
+Note that QObject is a \fIprivate\fR base class of QSignal, i.e. you cannot call any QObject member functions from a QSignal object.
+.PP
+Example:
+.PP
+.nf
+.br
+ #include <qsignal.h>
+.br
+.br
+ class MyClass
+.br
+ {
+.br
+ public:
+.br
+ MyClass();
+.br
+ ~MyClass();
+.br
+.br
+ void doSomething();
+.br
+.br
+ void connect( QObject *receiver, const char *member );
+.br
+.br
+ private:
+.br
+ QSignal *sig;
+.br
+ };
+.br
+.br
+ MyClass::MyClass()
+.br
+ {
+.br
+ sig = new QSignal;
+.br
+ }
+.br
+.br
+ MyClass::~MyClass()
+.br
+ {
+.br
+ delete sig;
+.br
+ }
+.br
+.br
+ void MyClass::doSomething()
+.br
+ {
+.br
+ // ... does something
+.br
+ sig->activate(); // emits the signal
+.br
+ }
+.br
+.br
+ void MyClass::connect( QObject *receiver, const char *member )
+.br
+ {
+.br
+ sig->connect( receiver, member );
+.br
+ }

+.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
+.SH "QSignal::QSignal ( QObject * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )"
+Constructs a signal object called \fIname\fR, with the parent object \fIparent\fR. These arguments are passed directly to QObject.
+.SH "QSignal::~QSignal ()"
+Destroys the signal. All connections are removed, as is the case with all QObjects.
+.SH "void QSignal::activate ()"
+Emits the signal. If the platform supports QVariant and a parameter has been set with setValue(), this value is passed in the signal.
+.SH "void QSignal::block ( bool b )"
+\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
+.PP
+Blocks the signal if \fIb\fR is TRUE, or unblocks the signal if \fIb\fR is FALSE.
+.PP
+An activated signal disappears into hyperspace if it is blocked.
+.PP
+See also isBlocked(), activate(), and QObject::blockSignals().
+.SH "bool QSignal::connect ( const QObject * receiver, const char * member )"
+Connects the signal to \fImember\fR in object \fIreceiver\fR.
+.PP
+See also disconnect() and QObject::connect().
+.SH "bool QSignal::disconnect ( const QObject * receiver, const char * member = 0 )"
+Disonnects the signal from \fImember\fR in object \fIreceiver\fR.
+.PP
+See also connect() and QObject::disconnect().
+.SH "bool QSignal::isBlocked () const"
+\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
+.PP
+Returns TRUE if the signal is blocked, or FALSE if it is not blocked.
+.PP
+The signal is not blocked by default.
+.PP
+See also block() and QObject::signalsBlocked().
+.SH "int QSignal::parameter () const"
+\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
+.SH "void QSignal::setParameter ( int value )"
+\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
+.SH "void QSignal::setValue ( const QVariant & value )"
+Sets the signal's parameter to \fIvalue\fR
+.SH "QVariant QSignal::value () const"
+Returns the signal's parameter
