SCO Xenix 2.3: What is the return value of signal()?

In the manual page for 'signal', I see:

	int (* signal (sig, func))();

and signal() is said to return the previous value of func for the
specified sig.

But in /usr/include/signal.h, I see:

	void (* signal())();

Since I _am_ trying to use the return value of signal(),
(if there is one), I hope the answer is that signal.h is wrong.
