This package provides the static SignalHandler class which registers a
signal handler for SIGINT and provides a method to check whether the signal was
received.
Important: In C++ only one handler can be registered for a specific signal. This means if two modules of the software both try to register a handler for SIGINT, the second one will silently overwrite the handler of the first one, i.e. only the handler of the second module will actually be executed when the signal is received.
The SignalHandler class of this package is supposed to solve this issue by
providing a globally accessible method to register a handler and check if the
signal was received. When all modules of the software use this class, there is
no conflict because only one handler will be registered and all modules will use
the same static method to check the status.
