CtrlC2

For this reason, I have decided to create a fork of ctrlc and maintain it. I will try to keep it up to date with the original repo. If you have any suggestions or want to contribute, please open an issue or a PR. Thanks! I will respond to issues and PRs as soon as possible.

A simple easy to use wrapper around Ctrl-C signal.

Documentation

Example usage

In cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ctrlc2 = "3.5"

then, in main.rs

use std::sync::mpsc::channel;
use ctrlc2;

fn main() {
    let (tx, rx) = channel();
    
    let handle = ctrlc2::set_handler(move || {tx.send(()).expect("Could not send signal on channel."); true})
        .expect("Error setting Ctrl-C handler");
    
    println!("Waiting for Ctrl-C...");
    rx.recv().expect("Could not receive from channel.");
    println!("Got it! Exiting..."); 
    handle.join().unwrap();
}

Asynchronous support

This library now supports asynchronous operation using either the tokio runtimes.

Selecting the tokio is done using feature flags (e.g. --no-default-features --features tokio)

#[cfg(feature = "tokio")]
#[cfg_attr(feature = "tokio", tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread"))]
async fn main() {
    let (tx, mut rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::channel::<()>(1);

    ctrlc2::set_async_handler(async move {
        tx.send(())
            .await
            .expect("Could not send signal on channel.");
    })
    .await;

    println!("Waiting for Ctrl-C...");
    rx.recv().await.expect("Could not receive from channel.");
    println!("Got it! Exiting...");
}

Try the example yourself

cargo build --examples && target/debug/examples/readme_example

Handling SIGTERM and SIGHUP

Add CtrlC to Cargo.toml using termination feature and CtrlC will handle SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
