signal is a module used to capture and monitor OS signals.
The following functions are exposed in mod.ts:
Generates an AsyncIterable which can be awaited on for one or more signals.
dispose() can be called when you are finished waiting on the events.
import { signal } from "https://deno.land/std/signal/mod.ts";
const sig = signal("SIGUSR1", "SIGINT");
setTimeout(() => {}, 5000); // Prevents exiting immediately.
for await (const _ of sig) {
// ..
}
// At some other point in your code when finished listening:
sig.dispose();
