Trapping signals by number is not well-defined. Prefer signal names.

Problematic code:

trap myfunc 28

Correct code:

trap myfunc WINCH

Rationale:

Signal numbers can vary between platforms. Prefer signal names, which are fixed.

Signal numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 14 and 15 are specified as parts of the optional POSIX XSI and ShellCheck will not warn about these.

Exceptions:

None.

ShellCheck

Each individual ShellCheck warning has its own wiki page like SC1000. Use GitHub Wiki's "Pages" feature above to find a specific one, or see Checks.
