Win32 API analog of sending/catching SIGTERM
posix, shutdown, sigterm, winapi, windows
Solution
You get a `WM_QUIT` message on your first created thread.
When you don't handle that, your process is forcibly shutdown.
So just implement a message queue in your first thread, which looks for the `WM_QUIT` message
Problem
Under POSIX OS there is signal API that allows to send a signal to process to shut it down with kill and you can catch it with sigaction and do what you need; However, Win32 is not POSIX system, so: - How can I handle shutdown events that may come, for example from "End Process" in "Task manager"? - What is the standard API for sending shutdown signal to Win32 application? I'm not talking about GUI, I'm talking about TCP/IP server that should be nicely shutdown. that does not run like windows service.
