// Sometimes we'd like our Go programs to intelligently
// handle [Unix signals](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal).
// For example, we might want a server to gracefully
// shutdown when it receives a `SIGTERM`, or a command-line
// tool to stop processing input if it receives a `SIGINT`.
// Here's how to handle signals in Go with channels.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
)
func main() {
// Go signal notification works by sending `os.Signal`
// values on a channel. We'll create a channel to
// receive these notifications (we'll also make one to
// notify us when the program can exit).
sigs := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
done := make(chan bool, 1)
// `signal.Notify` registers the given channel to
// receive notifications of the specified signals.
signal.Notify(sigs, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
// This goroutine executes a blocking receive for
// signals. When it gets one it'll print it out
// and then notify the program that it can finish.
go func() {
sig := <-sigs
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println(sig)
done <- true
}()
// The program will wait here until it gets the
// expected signal (as indicated by the goroutine
// above sending a value on `done`) and then exit.
fmt.Println("awaiting signal")
<-done
fmt.Println("exiting")
