✨ NAME ✨

Okay so this is Test2::Util::Sig — the signal tools used by Test2 and friends, straight from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, section 3pm. 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A collection of signal tools used by Test2 and friends. That's the whole description, bestie — it's the little signal-handling toolkit for Test2 and its crew. 🎀

💅 EXPORTS 💅

All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import — no sneaky auto-imports, just name what you want. ✨

try_sig_mask — the export that does the thing

($ok, $err) = try_sig_mask { ... }

Complete an action with several signals masked; they'll be unmasked at the end, allowing any signals that were intercepted to get handled. Controlled chaos, but make it safe-ish. 😌

This is primarily used when you need to make several actions atomic — against some signals anyway, so don't act like it covers every signal in the universe. 💅

Signals that are intercepted:

  • SIGINT
  • SIGALRM
  • SIGHUP
  • SIGTERM
  • SIGUSR1
  • SIGUSR2
