.IX Title "sigtrap 3"
.TH sigtrap 3 "2001-09-21" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"
.SH "NAME"
sigtrap \- Perl pragma to enable simple signal handling
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"

\& use sigtrap;
\& use sigtrap qw(stack-trace old-interface-signals); # equivalent
\& use sigtrap qw(BUS SEGV PIPE ABRT);

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBsigtrap\fR pragma is a simple interface to installing signal
handlers. You can have it install one of two handlers supplied by
\&\fBsigtrap\fR itself (one which provides a Perl stack trace and one which
simply \f(CW\*(C`die()\*(C'\fRs), or alternately you can supply your own handler for it
to install. It can be told only to install a handler for signals which
are either untrapped or ignored. It has a couple of lists of signals to
trap, plus you can supply your own list of signals.
.PP
The arguments passed to the \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR statement which invokes \fBsigtrap\fR
are processed in order. When a signal name or the name of one of
\&\fBsigtrap\fR's signal lists is encountered a handler is immediately
installed, when an option is encountered it affects subsequently
installed handlers.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.Sh "\s-1SIGNAL\s0 \s-1HANDLERS\s0"
.IX Subsection "SIGNAL HANDLERS"
These options affect which handler will be used for subsequently
installed signals.
.IP "\fBstack-trace\fR" 4
.IX Item "stack-trace"
The handler used for subsequently installed signals outputs a Perl stack
trace to \s-1STDERR\s0 and then tries to dump core. This is the default signal
handler.
.IP "\fBdie\fR" 4
.IX Item "die"
The handler used for subsequently installed signals calls \f(CW\*(C`die\*(C'\fR
(actually \f(CW\*(C`croak\*(C'\fR) with a message indicating which signal was caught.
.IP "\fBhandler\fR \fIyour-handler\fR" 4
.IX Item "handler your-handler"
\&\fIyour-handler\fR will be used as the handler for subsequently installed
signals. \fIyour-handler\fR can be any value which is valid as an
assignment to an element of \f(CW%SIG\fR.
.Sh "\s-1SIGNAL\s0 \s-1LISTS\s0"
.IX Subsection "SIGNAL LISTS"
\&\fBsigtrap\fR has a few built-in lists of signals to trap. They are:
.IP "\fBnormal-signals\fR" 4
.IX Item "normal-signals"
These are the signals which a program might normally expect to encounter
and which by default cause it to terminate. They are \s-1HUP\s0, \s-1INT\s0, \s-1PIPE\s0 and
\&\s-1TERM\s0.
.IP "\fBerror-signals\fR" 4
.IX Item "error-signals"
These signals usually indicate a serious problem with the Perl
interpreter or with your script. They are \s-1ABRT\s0, \s-1BUS\s0, \s-1EMT\s0, \s-1FPE\s0, \s-1ILL\s0,
\&\s-1QUIT\s0, \s-1SEGV\s0, \s-1SYS\s0 and \s-1TRAP\s0.
.IP "\fBold-interface-signals\fR" 4
.IX Item "old-interface-signals"
These are the signals which were trapped by default by the old
\&\fBsigtrap\fR interface, they are \s-1ABRT\s0, \s-1BUS\s0, \s-1EMT\s0, \s-1FPE\s0, \s-1ILL\s0, \s-1PIPE\s0, \s-1QUIT\s0,
\&\s-1SEGV\s0, \s-1SYS\s0, \s-1TERM\s0, and \s-1TRAP\s0. If no signals or signals lists are passed to
\&\fBsigtrap\fR, this list is used.
.PP
For each of these three lists, the collection of signals set to be
trapped is checked before trapping; if your architecture does not
implement a particular signal, it will not be trapped but rather
silently ignored.
.Sh "\s-1OTHER\s0"
.IX Subsection "OTHER"
.IP "\fBuntrapped\fR" 4
.IX Item "untrapped"
This token tells \fBsigtrap\fR to install handlers only for subsequently
listed signals which aren't already trapped or ignored.
.IP "\fBany\fR" 4
.IX Item "any"
This token tells \fBsigtrap\fR to install handlers for all subsequently
listed signals. This is the default behavior.
.IP "\fIsignal\fR" 4
.IX Item "signal"
Any argument which looks like a signal name (that is,
\&\f(CW\*(C`/^[A\-Z][A\-Z0\-9]*$/\*(C'\fR) indicates that \fBsigtrap\fR should install a
handler for that name.
.IP "\fInumber\fR" 4
.IX Item "number"
Require that at least version \fInumber\fR of \fBsigtrap\fR is being used.
