node js on ctrl c
When a Node.js process is terminated by pressing Ctrl + C, the following steps occur:
- The SIGINT signal is sent to the Node.js process by the terminal when Ctrl + C is pressed.
- Node.js receives the SIGINT signal and triggers the interruption handler, which is a default behavior in Node.js.
- The interruption handler in Node.js performs cleanup tasks such as closing open connections, releasing resources, and running any registered 'exit' event listeners.
- After the cleanup tasks are completed, the Node.js process exits, and the terminal prompt is restored for further interaction.
I hope this helps!
