We will learn how to create a command-line application that will read and write files. Along with discussing what happens when we get a signal interrupt from the OS, we will demonstrate how to perform cleanup actions before our application stops running. We will also handle a scenario of receiving an interrupt to our application and handling how the application exits. There are times when your application is running, and a signal comes from the OS to shut down the application.
