142
143=head1 DESCRIPTION
144
145The B<sigtrap> pragma is a simple interface to installing signal
146handlers. You can have it install one of two handlers supplied by
147B<sigtrap> itself (one which provides a Perl stack trace and one which
148simply C<die()>s), or alternately you can supply your own handler for it
149to install. It can be told only to install a handler for signals which
150are either untrapped or ignored. It has a couple of lists of signals to
151trap, plus you can supply your own list of signals.
152
153The arguments passed to the C<use> statement which invokes B<sigtrap>
154are processed in order. When a signal name or the name of one of
155B<sigtrap>'s signal lists is encountered a handler is immediately
156installed, when an option is encountered it affects subsequently
157installed handlers.
158
159=head1 OPTIONS
160
161=head2 SIGNAL HANDLERS
162
163These options affect which handler will be used for subsequently
164installed signals.
165
84dc3c4d 166=over 4
1ae80e7e 167
168=item B<stack-trace>
169
36477c24 170The handler used for subsequently installed signals outputs a Perl stack
171trace to STDERR and then tries to dump core. This is the default signal
172handler.
1ae80e7e 173
174=item B<die>
175
176The handler used for subsequently installed signals calls C<die>
177(actually C<croak>) with a message indicating which signal was caught.
178
179=item B<handler> I<your-handler>
180
181I<your-handler> will be used as the handler for subsequently installed
182signals. I<your-handler> can be any value which is valid as an
e2e369db
DN
183assignment to an element of C<%SIG>. See L<perlvar> for examples of
184handler functions.

187
188=head2 SIGNAL LISTS
189
36477c24 190B<sigtrap> has a few built-in lists of signals to trap. They are:
1ae80e7e 191
84dc3c4d 192=over 4
1ae80e7e 193
194=item B<normal-signals>
195
196These are the signals which a program might normally expect to encounter
197and which by default cause it to terminate. They are HUP, INT, PIPE and
198TERM.
199
200=item B<error-signals>
201
202These signals usually indicate a serious problem with the Perl
203interpreter or with your script. They are ABRT, BUS, EMT, FPE, ILL,
204QUIT, SEGV, SYS and TRAP.
205
206=item B<old-interface-signals>
207
208These are the signals which were trapped by default by the old
209B<sigtrap> interface, they are ABRT, BUS, EMT, FPE, ILL, PIPE, QUIT,
210SEGV, SYS, TERM, and TRAP. If no signals or signals lists are passed to
55497cff 211B<sigtrap>, this list is used.
1ae80e7e 212
213=back
214
55497cff 215For each of these three lists, the collection of signals set to be
216trapped is checked before trapping; if your architecture does not
217implement a particular signal, it will not be trapped but rather
218silently ignored.
219
1ae80e7e 220=head2 OTHER
221
84dc3c4d 222=over 4
223
1ae80e7e 224=item B<untrapped>
225
36477c24 226This token tells B<sigtrap> to install handlers only for subsequently
1ae80e7e 227listed signals which aren't already trapped or ignored.
228
229=item B<any>
230
231This token tells B<sigtrap> to install handlers for all subsequently
232listed signals. This is the default behavior.
233
234=item I<signal>
235
36477c24 236Any argument which looks like a signal name (that is,
237C</^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*$/>) indicates that B<sigtrap> should install a
238handler for that name.
1ae80e7e 239
240=item I<number>
241
242Require that at least version I<number> of B<sigtrap> is being used.
243
244=back
245
246=head1 EXAMPLES
247
248Provide a stack trace for the old-interface-signals:
249
250 use sigtrap;
251
252Ditto:
253
254 use sigtrap qw(stack-trace old-interface-signals);
255
256Provide a stack trace on the 4 listed signals only:
257
258 use sigtrap qw(BUS SEGV PIPE ABRT);
259
260Die on INT or QUIT:
261
262 use sigtrap qw(die INT QUIT);
263
264Die on HUP, INT, PIPE or TERM:
265
266 use sigtrap qw(die normal-signals);
267
268Die on HUP, INT, PIPE or TERM, except don't change the behavior for
269signals which are already trapped or ignored:
270
271 use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals);
272
273Die on receipt one of an of the B<normal-signals> which is currently
274B<untrapped>, provide a stack trace on receipt of B<any> of the
275B<error-signals>:
276
277 use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals
278 stack-trace any error-signals);
279
280Install my_handler() as the handler for the B<normal-signals>:
281
282 use sigtrap 'handler', \&my_handler, 'normal-signals';
283
284Install my_handler() as the handler for the normal-signals, provide a
285Perl stack trace on receipt of one of the error-signals:
286
287 use sigtrap qw(handler my_handler normal-signals
288 stack-trace error-signals);
