how ctrl+c works to terminate a process
 
Sorry if I am posting in a wrong place. I need to know how ctrl+c works in command line to terminate a process ? I have some idea about signal handling but not much. Can you give me some idea ?

The process is sent SIGINT; if the process does not handle (or disable) the signal, it is immediately killed, otherwise you can handle the signal and do whatever you want.
