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

[Documentation](http://detegr.github.io/doc/ctrlc/)

## Example usage

In `cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
ctrlc = "3.4"
```

then, in `main.rs`

```rust
use std::sync::mpsc::channel;
use ctrlc;

fn main() {
let (tx, rx) = channel();

ctrlc::set_handler(move || tx.send(()).expect("Could not send signal on channel."))
.expect("Error setting Ctrl-C handler");

println!("Waiting for Ctrl-C...");
rx.recv().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.
