.list ⇒ Hash

Returns a list of signal names mapped to the corresponding underlying signal numbers.

Signal.list   #=> {"EXIT"=>0, "HUP"=>1, "INT"=>2, "QUIT"=>3, "ILL"=>4, "TRAP"=>5, "IOT"=>6, "ABRT"=>6, "FPE"=>8, "KILL"=>9, "BUS"=>7, "SEGV"=>11, "SYS"=>31, "PIPE"=>13, "ALRM"=>14, "TERM"=>15, "URG"=>23, "STOP"=>19, "TSTP"=>20, "CONT"=>18, "CHLD"=>17, "CLD"=>17, "TTIN"=>21, "TTOU"=>22, "IO"=>29, "XCPU"=>24, "XFSZ"=>25, "VTALRM"=>26, "PROF"=>27, "WINCH"=>28, "USR1"=>10, "USR2"=>12, "PWR"=>30, "POLL"=>29}

.signame(signo) ⇒ String

convert signal number to signal name

Signal.trap("INT") { |signo| puts Signal.signame(signo) }
Process.kill("INT", 0)

produces:

INT

.trap(signal, command) ⇒ Object .trap(signal) {|| ... } ⇒ Object

Specifies the handling of signals. The first parameter is a signal name (a string such as SIGALRM'', SIGUSR1'', and so on) or a signal number. The characters SIG'' may be omitted from the signal name. The command or block specifies code to be run when the signal is raised. If the command is the string IGNORE'' or SIG_IGN'', the signal will be ignored. If the command is DEFAULT'' or SIG_DFL'', the Ruby's default handler will be invoked. If the command is EXIT'', the script will be terminated by the signal. If the command is SYSTEM_DEFAULT'', the operating system's default handler will be invoked. Otherwise, the given command or block will be run. The special signal name EXIT'' or signal number zero will be invoked just prior to program termination. trap returns the previous handler for the given signal.

Signal.trap(0, proc { puts "Terminating: #{$$}" })
Signal.trap("CLD")  { puts "Child died" }
fork && Process.wait

produces: Terminating: 27461 Child died Terminating: 27460
