@@ -350,6 +350,9 @@ Signal events will be emitted when the Node.js process receives a signal. Please
 refer to signal(7) for a listing of standard POSIX signal names such as
 `SIGINT`, `SIGHUP`, etc.
 
+The signal handler will receive the signal's name (`'SIGINT'`,
+ `'SIGTERM'`, etc.) as the first argument.

 The name of each event will be the uppercase common name for the signal (e.g.
 `'SIGINT'` for `SIGINT` signals).
