Arms or disarms user-written subsystem break trap handling
procedure.
Operation Notes |
 |
Call XCONTRAP to arm a user-written subsystem break trap
handling procedure. This trap handler is invoked when an
enabled subsystem break signal is received during an interactive session.
Calling XCONTRAP from a job results in an error.
On most terminals, transmit the subsystem break signal by
pressing CTRLY (the default for sending a subsystem break
signal). Subsystem break traps are also referred to as
control-Y traps.
Only one process in a session can receive a subsystem break trap at any
one time. The process that called XCONTRAP most recently
receives the next subsystem break trap. Once a process has received a
subsystem break trap, it cannot receive another until it calls the
RESETCONTROL intrinsic to reenable the subsystem break trap.
Only processes running in a session
can enable subsystem break traps. The trap handler can be any procedure
in the program or in the libraries to which the program is bound.
The subsystem break trap handler has no parameters.
