+### Parent Death Signal ###
+
+Tini can set its parent death signal, which is the signal Tini should receive
+when *its* parent exits. To set the parent death signal, use the `-p` flag with
+the name of the signal Tini should receive when its parent exits:
+
+```
+tini -p SIGTERM -- ...
+```
+
+*NOTE: See [this PR discussion][12] to learn more about the parent death signal
+and use cases.*
