+Description:
+ A writable attribute that allows administrator to affect the
+ course of an existing transition. Writing 1 sends a fake
+ signal to all remaining blocking tasks. The fake signal
+ means that no proper signal is delivered (there is no data in
+ signal pending structures). Tasks are interrupted or woken up,
+ and forced to change their patched state.
