NAME

  Sys::Sig -- return signal constants for this host

SYNOPSIS

AS METHODS

  use Sys::Sig;


  my $TERM = Sys::Sig->TERM;

  kill $TERM, $pid;

        or

  my $Sig = new Sys::Sig;

  my $TERM = $Sig->TERM;
  ...

NOTE: the signal name is not case sensitive. The following will work just as well for METHODS ONLY:

 my $TERM = $Sig->TeRm;

AS FUNCTIONS

  use Sys::Sig qw(:all)
  use Sys::Sig qw(
        HUP
        TERM
        etc...
  );

Use this syntax with care. Depending on the usage, perl may not interpret the bare word correctly.

  i.e. my $term = TERM;

Better:

  my $term = &TERM;
  my $term = TERM();

or, without the import

  my $term = &Sys::Sig::TERM;

or, case insensitive for full package function call

  my $term = &Sys::Sig::term;
  my $term = Sys::Sig::term();

PRINT SIGNALS VALUES

Print an alphabetical list of all signals to the FILEHANDLE or STDOUT if no filehandle is specified.

  Sys::Sig::print(*FILEHANDLE);

Print a numeric sorted list of all signals to the FILEHANDLE or STDOUT if no filehandle is specified.

  Sys::Sig::printN(*FILEHANDLE);
