    Interrupt

    Raised with the interrupt signal is received, typically because the user pressed on Control-C (on most posix platforms). As such, it is a subclass of SignalException.

    begin
      puts "Press ctrl-C when you get bored"
      loop {}
    rescue Interrupt => e
      puts "Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead."
    end
    

    produces:

    Press ctrl-C when you get bored

    then waits until it is interrupted with Control-C and then prints:

    Note: You will typically use Signal.trap instead.
