Exception: Interrupt

Inherits:
SignalException show all
Defined in:
error.c

Overview

Raised with the interrupt signal is received, typically because the user pressed on Control-C (on most posix platforms). As such, it is a subclass of SignalException. 

   begin
     puts "Press ctrl-C when you get bored"
     loop {}
   rescue Interrupt => e
     puts "Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead."
   end

produces: 

   Press ctrl-C when you get bored

then waits until it is interrupted with Control-C and then prints: 

   Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead.
