Constructing signal events

Event can also watch for POSIX-style signals. To construct a handler for a signal, use Event::__construct() constructor with Event::SIGNAL flag, or Event::signal() factory method.

Example #1 Handling SIGTERM signal

<?php

class MyEventSignal {
 private $base, $ev;

 public function __construct($base) {
$this->base = $base;
$this->ev = Event::signal($base, SIGTERM, array($this, 'eventSighandler'));
$this->ev->add();
 }

 public function eventSighandler($no, $c) {
 echo "Caught signal $no\n";
$this->base->exit();
 }
}

$base = new EventBase();
$c = new MyEventSignal($base);

$base->loop();
?>

Note that signal callbacks are run in the event loop after the signal occurs, so it is safe for them to call functions that you are not supposed to call from a regular POSIX signal handler.
