The command-line interface (CLI) provides a powerful environment for automating tasks and managing system resources in PHP. Understanding and handling signals is crucial for writing robust and responsive CLI scripts. This article introduces "Signaling PHP," a comprehensive guide that empowers you to harness the full potential of signals in your PHP CLI scripts.

Signals are asynchronous notifications sent by the operating system to processes. They convey important information about system events, such as user input, system resource changes, and process termination requests. Handling signals effectively allows you to react appropriately to these events, ensuring your scripts operate smoothly and respond swiftly to changing conditions.

Comprehensive Signal Coverage: Covers a wide range of signals, including those for user interrupts (SIGINT, SIGTERM),resource limit changes (SIGXCPU, SIGXMEM),and process termination (SIGKILL).
In-Depth Signal Handling Techniques: Provides detailed explanations of various signal handling techniques, including setting signal handlers, ignoring signals, and blocking signals.
Practical Examples and Code Snippets: Offers practical examples and code snippets to illustrate signal handling in real-world scenarios, making it easy to understand and apply the concepts.
Advanced Topics: Explores advanced topics such as signal masking, signal queues, and signal delivery semantics, empowering you to handle signals with precision and control.

Build Robust and Responsive CLI Scripts: Ensure your scripts handle system events reliably, preventing unexpected crashes or script failures.
Maximize System Resource Utilization: Optimize your scripts to respond intelligently to resource limit changes, ensuring efficient resource allocation and preventing performance bottlenecks.
Control Process Behavior: Gain the ability to gracefully terminate scripts or take specific actions upon receiving termination signals, providing greater control over process management.
Improve Script Reliability: Enhance the overall reliability and stability of your CLI scripts by handling signals effectively, minimizing the impact of system events on script execution.
