Rust Signal handling Signal handling with chan-signal crate
Example
The chan-signal crate provides a solution to handle OS signal using channels, altough this crate is experimental and should be used carefully.
Example taken from BurntSushi/chan-signal.
#[macro_use]
extern crate chan;
extern crate chan_signal;
use chan_signal::Signal;
fn main() {
// Signal gets a value when the OS sent a INT or TERM signal.
let signal = chan_signal::notify(&[Signal::INT, Signal::TERM]);
// When our work is complete, send a sentinel value on `sdone`.
let (sdone, rdone) = chan::sync(0);
// Run work.
::std::thread::spawn(move || run(sdone));
// Wait for a signal or for work to be done.
chan_select! {
signal.recv() -> signal => {
println!("received signal: {:?}", signal)
},
rdone.recv() => {
println!("Program completed normally.");
}
}
}
fn run(_sdone: chan::Sender<()>) {
println!("Running work for 5 seconds.");
println!("Can you send a signal quickly enough?");
// Do some work.
::std::thread::sleep_ms(5000);
// _sdone gets dropped which closes the channel and causes `rdone`
// to unblock.
}
