 Example of standard library functions that need to be modified to comply
 with this PEP:
 
-* ``open()``, ``os.open()``
-* ``os.read()``, ``io.FileIO.read()``, ``io.FileIO.readinto()``
-* ``os.write()``, ``io.FileIO.write()``

-* ``socket.accept()``
-* ``socket.connect()``
-* ``socket.recv()``, ``socket.recv_into()``
-* ``socket.recv_from()``
-* ``socket.send()``
-* ``socket.sendto()``
+* ``open()``, ``os.open()``, ``io.open()``
+* functions of the ``faulthandler`` module
+* ``os`` functions:

+  - ``os.fchdir()``
+  - ``os.fchmod()``
+  - ``os.fchown()``

+The ``socket.socket.connect()`` method does not retry ``connect()`` for
+non-blocking sockets if it is interrupted by a signal (fails with ``EINTR``).
+The connection runs asynchronously in background. The caller is responsible
+to wait until the socket becomes writable (ex: using ``select.select()``)
+and then call ``socket.socket.getsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_ERROR)``
+to check if the connection succeeded (``getsockopt()`` returns ``0``) or failed.
