Is there a way to catch CTRL+C in dart console application?
For example, press CTRL+C to send clean "closing" packet to web socket clients from server instead of just brutally closing the sockets.

I've had a dig around, and I think that the answer, at the moment is no.
You can capture stdin, for example:
import 'dart:io';
void main() {
stdin.onData = () => print(stdin.read());
}
but this does not respond to CTRL+C.
Elsewhere, process.dart
(part of the dart:io
library) defines various signals, such as SIGQUIT, and an onExit()
callback, but this is used to control child processes rather than the host process.
This is now available
I found the following test code at Unified Diff: tests/standalone/io/signals_test_script.dart
import "dart:io";
void main(args) {
int usr1Count = int.parse(args[0]);
int usr2Count = int.parse(args[1]);
var sub1;
var sub2;
void check() {
if (usr1Count < 0 || usr2Count < 0) exit(1);
if (usr1Count == 0 && usr2Count == 0) {
sub1.cancel();
sub2.cancel();
}
print("ready");
}
sub1 = ProcessSignal.SIGUSR1.watch().listen((signal) {
if (signal != ProcessSignal.SIGUSR1) exit(1);
usr1Count--;
check();
});
sub2 = ProcessSignal.SIGUSR2.watch().listen((signal) {
if (signal != ProcessSignal.SIGUSR2) exit(1);
usr2Count--;
check();
});
check();
}
Hopefully this will be released soon.
