:c:type:`uv_signal_t` --- Signal handle
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Signal handles implement Unix style signal handling on a per-event loop bases.
|
|
|
|
Windows notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Reception of some signals is emulated:
|
|
|
|
* SIGINT is normally delivered when the user presses CTRL+C. However, like
|
|
on Unix, it is not generated when terminal raw mode is enabled.
|
|
|
|
* SIGBREAK is delivered when the user pressed CTRL + BREAK.
|
|
|
|
* SIGHUP is generated when the user closes the console window. On SIGHUP the
|
|
program is given approximately 10 seconds to perform cleanup. After that
|
|
Windows will unconditionally terminate it.
|
|
|
|
* SIGWINCH is raised whenever libuv detects that the console has been
|
|
resized. When a libuv app is running under a console emulator, or when a
|
|
32-bit libuv app is running on 64-bit system, SIGWINCH will be emulated. In
|
|
such cases SIGWINCH signals may not always be delivered in a timely manner.
|
|
For a writable :c:type:`uv_tty_t` handle libuv will only detect size changes
|
|
when the cursor is moved. When a readable :c:type:`uv_tty_t` handle is used,
|
|
resizing of the console buffer will be detected only if the handle is in raw
|
|
mode and is being read.
|
|
|
|
* Watchers for other signals can be successfully created, but these signals
|
|
are never received. These signals are: `SIGILL`, `SIGABRT`, `SIGFPE`, `SIGSEGV`,
|
|
`SIGTERM` and `SIGKILL.`
|
|
|
|
* Calls to raise() or abort() to programmatically raise a signal are
|
|
not detected by libuv; these will not trigger a signal watcher.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.15.0 SIGWINCH support on Windows was improved.
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.31.0 32-bit libuv SIGWINCH support on 64-bit Windows was
|
|
rolled back to old implementation.
|
|
|
|
Unix notes
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
* SIGKILL and SIGSTOP are impossible to catch.
|
|
|
|
* Handling SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL or SIGSEGV via libuv results into undefined behavior.
|
|
|
|
* SIGABRT will not be caught by libuv if generated by `abort()`, e.g. through `assert()`.
|
|
|
|
* On Linux SIGRT0 and SIGRT1 (signals 32 and 33) are used by the NPTL pthreads library to
|
|
manage threads. Installing watchers for those signals will lead to unpredictable behavior
|
|
and is strongly discouraged. Future versions of libuv may simply reject them.

----------
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: uv_signal_t
|
|
|
|
Signal handle type.
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: void (*uv_signal_cb)(uv_signal_t* handle, int signum)
|
|
|
|
Type definition for callback passed to :c:func:`uv_signal_start`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public members
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. c:member:: int uv_signal_t.signum
|
|
|
|
Signal being monitored by this handle. Readonly.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_handle_t` members also apply.
|
|
|
|
|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_signal_init(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_signal_t* signal)
|
|
|
|
Initialize the handle.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_signal_start(uv_signal_t* signal, uv_signal_cb cb, int signum)
|
|
|
|
Start the handle with the given callback, watching for the given signal.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_signal_start_oneshot(uv_signal_t* signal, uv_signal_cb cb, int signum)
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.12.0
|
|
|
|
Same functionality as :c:func:`uv_signal_start` but the signal handler is reset the moment
|
|
the signal is received.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int uv_signal_stop(uv_signal_t* signal)
|
|
|
|
Stop the handle, the callback will no longer be called.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso:: The :c:type:`uv_handle_t` API functions also apply.
