-       * xargs/xargs.c: Increase parallelism in mid-run with SIGUSR1;
-       decrease it with SIGUSR2.
+       Control the parallelism of xargs with SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
+       * doc/find.texi (Controlling Parallelism): New section describing
+       xargs -P, SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
+       * xargs/xargs.1 (OPTIONS): Mention runtime adjustability of
+       parallelism in the paragraph on the -P option.
+       (SEE ALSO): refer to kill(1) and signal(7).
+       * xargs/xargs.c (proc_max): Since this is touched by a signal
+       handler, change the type to sig_atomic_t and the storage class to
+       volatile. 
+       (increment_proc_max): Signal handler for SIGUSR1.
+       (decrement_proc_max): Signal handler for SIGUSR2.
+       (main): Install handlers for SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2.
+       (wait_for_proc): If SIGUSR1 tells us that we now have an extra
+       free slot, continue to wait for other exited children, but don't
+       block.
        * doc/find.texi, xargs/xargs.1, NEWS: Document SIGUSR1/2.
