Human-friendly process signals.
This is a map of known process signals with some information about each signal.
Unlike
[`os.constants.signals`](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_signal_constants)
this includes:
- human-friendly [descriptions](#description)
- [default actions](#action), including whether they [can be prevented](#forced)
- whether the signal is [supported](#supported) by the current OS
# Example
```js
const { signalsByName, signalsByNumber } = require('human-signals')
console.log(signalsByName.SIGINT)
// {
// name: 'SIGINT',
// number: 2,
// description: 'User interruption with CTRL-C',
// supported: true,
// action: 'terminate',
// forced: false,
// standard: 'ansi'
// }
console.log(signalsByNumber[8])
// {
// name: 'SIGFPE',
// number: 8,
// description: 'Floating point arithmetic error',
// supported: true,
// action: 'core',
// forced: false,
// standard: 'ansi'
// }
```
# Install
```bash
npm install human-signals
```
# Usage
## signalsByName
_Type_: `object`
Object whose keys are signal [names](#name) and values are
[signal objects](#signal).
## signalsByNumber
_Type_: `object`
Object whose keys are signal [numbers](#number) and values are
[signal objects](#signal).
## signal
_Type_: `object`
Signal object with the following properties.
### name
_Type_: `string`
Standard name of the signal, for example `'SIGINT'`.
### number
_Type_: `number`
Code number of the signal, for example `2`. While most `number` are
cross-platform, some are different between different OS.
### description
_Type_: `string`
Human-friendly description for the signal, for example
`'User interruption with CTRL-C'`.
### supported
_Type_: `boolean`
Whether the current OS can handle this signal in Node.js using
[`process.on(name, handler)`](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_signal_events).
The list of supported signals
[is OS-specific](https://github.com/ehmicky/cross-platform-node-guide/blob/master/docs/6_networking_ipc/signals.md#cross-platform-signals).
### action
_Type_: `string`<br>_Enum_: `'terminate'`, `'core'`, `'ignore'`, `'pause'`,
`'unpause'`
What is the default action for this signal when it is not handled.
### forced
_Type_: `boolean`
Whether the signal's default action cannot be prevented. This is `true` for
`SIGTERM`, `SIGKILL` and `SIGSTOP`.
### standard
_Type_: `string`<br>_Enum_: `'ansi'`, `'posix'`, `'bsd'`, `'systemv'`, `'other'`
Which standard defined that signal.
