I am a novice to signal handling using c language. I am analyzing below signal handling code which extracted from specific resource.
Here is that code .
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
void intproc();
void quitproc();
main()
{
int i;
signal(SIGINT,intproc);
signal(SIGQUIT,quitproc);
printf("Ctrl+c is disabled. Use ctrl+\\ to quit\n");
for (i=0;;i++) {
printf("In an infinite loop...\n");
sleep(200);
}
}
void intproc()
{
signal(SIGINT,intproc);
printf("You have pressed ctrl+c.\n");
}
void quitproc()
{ signal(SIGQUIT,intproc);
printf("You have pressed ctrl+\\. Now the program quits.\n");
exit(0);
}
what I want to know is why we call again Signal handler "(SIGINT,intproc)" inside intproc() function ?
I tried to run this code without that signal handler within that function ,and its also working .
