NAME

       "IO::Async::Signal" - event callback on receipt of a POSIX signal

SYNOPSIS

	use IO::Async::Signal;

	use IO::Async::Loop;
	my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

	my $signal = IO::Async::Signal->new(
	   name => "HUP",

	   on_receipt => sub {
	       print "I caught SIGHUP
";
	   },
	);

	$loop->add( $signal );

	$loop->run;

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier invokes its callback when a particular POSIX signal is received.

       Multiple objects can be added to a "Loop" that all watch for the same signal.  The callback functions will all be invoked, in no particular
       order.

EVENTS

       The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:

   on_receipt
       Invoked when the signal is received.

PARAMETERS

       The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

       name => STRING
	       The name of the signal to watch. This should be a bare name like "TERM". Can only be given at construction time.

       on_receipt => CODE
	       CODE reference for the "on_receipt" event.

       Once constructed, the "Signal" will need to be added to the "Loop" before it will work.
