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 = "3.7"

then, in main.rs

{
    let handle = ctrlc2::set_handler(move || {
        println!(" ");
        println!("Ctrl-C received, ready to exiting...");
        true
    })
    .unwrap();
    println!("Waiting for Ctrl-C...");
    handle.join().unwrap();
    println!("Got it! Exiting...");
}

Asynchronous support

This library now supports asynchronous operation. You can use the async feature, it very simple:

#[cfg(all(feature = "async", feature = "tokio"))]
#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
async fn main() {
    let ctrlc = ctrlc2::AsyncCtrlC::new(move || {
        println!("Ctrl-C received! Ready to exiting...");
        true
    })
    .expect("cannot create Ctrl+C handler");

    println!("Waiting for Ctrl-C...");
    ctrlc.await.unwrap();
    println!("Got it! Exiting...");
}

#[cfg(not(all(feature = "async", feature = "tokio")))]
fn main() {
    println!("This example requires the `async` and `tokio` features to be enabled.");
}

You can alse select the tokio runtime 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...");
}

#[cfg(not(feature = "tokio"))]
fn main() {
    println!("This example requires the `tokio` features to be enabled.");
}

Handling SIGTERM and SIGHUP

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