Using Signals with Go (calhoun.io)
Signals are messages that can be sent to running programs, and are often used to request that a program performs a specific behavior. The most common signal is likely the SIGINT signal, which is sent when a developer presses Ctrl+C in the terminal. This signal tells the program to stop running, and is how we terminate a running process.
