FISH_STATUS_TO_SIGNAL(1)

🦋 FISH_STATUS_TO_SIGNAL(1) 🦋

okay bestie so this is a page from the fish-shell manual (yes, that fish-shell, the iconic one ✨) and it's about turning boring little numbers into ✨ signals ✨. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fish_status_to_signal — it converts exit codes into human-friendly signals, no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fish_status_to_signal NUM

and here's the literal glow-up of a prompt function they show you, bestie look:

function fish_prompt
    echo -n (fish_status_to_signal $pipestatus | string join '|') (prompt_pwd) '$ '
end

main character prompt energy, fr fr 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so fish_status_to_signal takes exit codes and converts them into their corresponding human-friendly signals — if one exists, okay? 🙈 like, it's not gonna manifest a signal out of thin air, it just maps the ones that actually have a match.

and lowkey the whole point? it's likely to be useful for prompts, especially when you pair it with the $status and $pipestatus variables. that's the vibe check. prompts + these variables + this function = chef's kiss 👑

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

watch this, it's giving demonstration:

>_ sleep 5
^C⏎
>_ fish_status_to_signal $status
SIGINT

you hit Ctrl+C, the sleep gets interrupted, and boom — SIGINT comes back at you. ate. 💅✨
