# signal
signal is a module used to capture and monitor OS signals.
# usage
The following functions are exposed in `mod.ts`:
## signal
Generates an AsyncIterable which can be awaited on for one or more signals.
`dispose()` can be called when you are finished waiting on the events.
```typescript
import { signal } from "https://deno.land/std/signal/mod.ts";
const sig = signal(Deno.Signal.SIGUSR1, Deno.Signal.SIGINT);
setTimeout(() => {}, 5000); // Prevents exiting immediately.
for await (const _ of sig) {
// ..
}
// At some other point in your code when finished listening:
sig.dispose();
```
## onSignal
Registers a callback function to be called on triggering of a signal event.
```typescript
import { onSignal } from "https://deno.land/std/signal/mod.ts";
const handle = onSignal(Deno.Signal.SIGINT, () => {
// ...
handle.dispose(); // de-register from receiving further events.
});
```
