./sysutils/p5-Sys-SigAction, Perl extension for Consistent Signal Handling

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: pkgsrc-2010Q2, Version: 0.11, Package name: p5-Sys-SigAction-0.11, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This module implements set_sig_handler(), which sets up a signal handler and
(optionally) returns an object which causes the signal handler to be reset
to the previous value, when it goes out of scope.

Also implemented is timeout_call() which takes a timeout value and a code
reference, and executes the code reference wrapped with an alarm timeout.

Finally, two convenience routines are defined which allow one to get the
signal name from the number -- sig_name(), and get the signal number from
the name -- sig_number().
