\subsection trap-description Description
|
|
|
|
`trap` is a wrapper around the fish event delivery framework. It exists for backwards compatibility with POSIX shells. For other uses, it is recommended to define an <a href='index.html#event'>event handler</a>.
|
|
|
|
The following parameters are available:
|
|
|
|
- `ARG` is the command to be executed on signal delivery.
|
|
|
|
- `SIGSPEC` is the name of the signal to trap.
|
|
|
|
- `-l` or `--list-signals` prints a list of signal names.
|
|
|
|
- `-p` or `--print` prints all defined signal handlers.
|
|
|
|
If `ARG` and `SIGSPEC` are both specified, `ARG` is the command to be executed when the signal specified by `SIGSPEC` is delivered.
|
|
|
|
If `ARG` is absent (and there is a single SIGSPEC) or -, each specified signal is reset to its original disposition (the value it had upon entrance to the shell). If `ARG` is the null string the signal specified by each `SIGSPEC` is ignored by the shell and by the commands it invokes.
|
|
|
|
If `ARG` is not present and `-p` has been supplied, then the trap commands associated with each `SIGSPEC` are displayed. If no arguments are supplied or if only `-p` is given, `trap` prints the list of commands associated with each signal.
|
|
|
|
Signal names are case insensitive and the `SIG` prefix is optional.
|
|
|
|
The return status is 1 if any `SIGSPEC` is invalid; otherwise trap returns 0.

\subsection trap-example Example
|
|
|
|
\fish
|
|
trap "status --print-stack-trace" SIGUSR1
|
|
# Prints a stack trace each time the SIGUSR1 signal is sent to the shell.
|
