addsignoproc[-async]
Adds a signal handler for signal signo through proc proc. Signals can be provided by number, or the most
common ones are provided by name (e.g., SIGHUP). The proc is any Tcl procedure, and it is evaluated when
the signal comes in. It will be provided no arguments.
Signal handlers have Posix semantics - they persist until reset.
If -async is used, the signal handler is created using Tcl_AsyncCreate(). Checks for the signal are very
frequent (each evaluation) using this technique, but one doesn't know quite where evaluation is or how to
handle errors in this situation. The code will evaluate the provided procedure in the current interpreter
if available, and in the interpreter which added the signal handler otherwise. At least until a better
scheme is suggested.
The -async is especially useful to interrupt "runaway" procs, or to cause a quick exit; the default
mechanism simply waits for another MainLoop cycle.
signaldeletesigno
Restores handling of signal signo to the default ( SIG_DFL ).
signalprint
Prints the handling of all signals with handlers. Formatted as
signal ----> procedure or as
signal !---> procedure
if the signal is handled asynchronously
signalprintsigno
Prints the procedure for handling signal signo. Prints the word UNHANDLED if no signal handler is active
for that signal.
signalversion
Returns the string representing the current version of the package
