Constants

  • The default value if #[unix_sigpipe] is not specified. This resolves to SIG_IGN in library/std/src/sys/unix/mod.rs.
  • Do not touch SIGPIPE. Use whatever the parent process uses.
  • Change SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL so that the process is killed when trying to write to a closed pipe. This is usually the desired behavior for CLI apps that produce textual output that you want to pipe to other programs such as head -n 1.
  • Change SIGPIPE to SIG_IGN so that failed writes results in EPIPE that are eventually converted to ErrorKind::BrokenPipe.
