Signals
=======
Mitogen contains a simplistic signal mechanism to decouple its components. When
a signal is fired by an instance of a class, functions registered to receive it
are called back.
.. warning::
As signals execute on the Broker thread, and without exception handling,
they are generally unsafe for consumption by user code, as any bugs could
trigger crashes and hangs for which the broker is unable to forward logs,
or ensure the buggy context always shuts down on disconnect.
Functions
---------
.. currentmodule:: mitogen.core
.. autofunction:: listen
.. autofunction:: unlisten
.. autofunction:: fire
List
----
These signals are used internally by Mitogen.

* - Class
- Name
- Description
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Stream`
- ``disconnect``
- Fired on the Broker thread when disconnection is detected.
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Stream`
- ``shutdown``
- Fired on the Broker thread when broker shutdown begins.
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Context`
- ``disconnect``
- Fired on the Broker thread during shutdown (???)
* - :py:class:`mitogen.parent.Process`
- ``exit``
- Fired when :class:`mitogen.parent.Reaper` detects subprocess has fully
exitted.
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Broker`
- ``shutdown``
- Fired after Broker.shutdown() is called, but before ``shutdown`` event
fires. This can be used to trigger any behaviour that relies on the
process remaining intact, as processing of ``shutdown`` races with any
parent sending the child a signal because it is not shutting down in
reasonable time.
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Broker`
- ``shutdown``
- Fired after Broker.shutdown() is called.
* - :py:class:`mitogen.core.Broker`
- ``exit``
- Fired immediately prior to the broker thread exit.
