Overview

Raised when a signal is received.

begin
  Process.kill('HUP',Process.pid)
  sleep # wait for receiver to handle signal sent by Process.kill
rescue SignalException => e
  puts "received Exception #{e}"
end

produces:

received Exception SIGHUP

Class Attribute Summary

::Exception - Inherited

.to_tty?

Returns true if exception messages will be sent to a tty.

Class Method Summary

::Exception - Inherited

.exception

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.

.new

Construct a new ::Exception object, optionally passing in a message.

Instance Method Summary

::Exception - Inherited

#==

Equality—If obj is not an ::Exception, returns false.

#backtrace

Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.

#backtrace_locations

Returns any backtrace associated with the exception.

#cause

Returns the previous exception ($!) at the time this exception was raised.

#exception

With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver.

#full_message

Returns formatted string of exception.

#inspect

Return this exception’s class name and message.

#message

Returns the result of invoking exception.to_s.

#set_backtrace

Sets the backtrace information associated with exc.

#to_s

Returns exception’s message (or the name of the exception if no message is set).

Constructor Details

.new(sig_name) ⇒ signal_exception .new(sig_number [, name]) ⇒ signal_exception

Construct a new SignalException object. sig_name should be a known signal name.
