4. Writes may be synchronous depending on the what the stream is connected to
and whether the system is Windows or Unix:
- Files: *synchronous* on Windows and Linux
- TTYs (Terminals): *asynchronous* on Windows, *synchronous* on Unix
- Pipes (and sockets): *synchronous* on Windows, *asynchronous* on Unix

exit codes are defined to be 7-bit integers, and signal exits set
the high-order bit, and then contain the value of the signal code.
For example, signal `SIGABRT` has value `6`, so the expected exit
