Crate tokio_signal

Asynchronous signal handling for Tokio

This crate implements asynchronous signal handling for Tokio, an asynchronous I/O framework in Rust. The primary type exported from this crate, unix::Signal, allows listening for arbitrary signals on Unix platforms, receiving them in an asynchronous fashion.

Note that signal handling is in general a very tricky topic and should be used with great care. This crate attempts to implement 'best practice' for signal handling, but it should be evaluated for your own applications' needs to see if it's suitable.

The are some fundamental limitations of this crate documented on the Signal structure as well.

Note: This crate compiles on Windows, but currently contains no bindings. Windows does not have signals like Unix does, but it does have a way to receive ctrl-c notifications at the console. It's planned that this will be bound and exported outside the unix module in the future!

Modules

unix	Unix-specific types for signal handling.

Functions

ctrl_c

Creates a stream which receives "ctrl-c" notifications sent to a process.
