signal-msg 0.7.0

#![cfg(unix)]
//! Handle UNIX process signals with a shared channel.
//!
//! This crate provides a correct, ergonomic approach to UNIX signal handling.
//! The self-pipe trick ensures that the actual signal handler only calls
//! `write(2)` — the only async-signal-safe operation needed. A background
//! thread named `signal-msg` performs all non-trivial work. Multiple
//! independent subscribers are supported via [`Signals::subscribe`].
//!
//! Signal handlers are installed automatically when [`Signals::new`] returns,
//! so it is impossible to forget to activate them.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use signal_msg::Signals;
//!
//! let signals = Signals::new().expect("failed to create signal handler");
//! for sig in signals.subscribe() {
//!     println!("received: {}", sig);
//!     if sig.is_terminating() { break; }
//! }
//! ```
