      const sig = signal("SIGUSR1", "SIGINT");
      setTimeout(() => {}, 5000); // Prevents exiting immediately

      for await (const _ of sig) {
        console.log("interrupt or usr1 signal received");
      }

      // At some other point in your code when finished listening:
      sig.dispose();

Parameters

...signals: [Deno.Signal, ...Deno.Signal[]]
  • one or more signals to listen to

Returns

AsyncIterable<void> & Disposable
