If b is false, then the default operating system actions for the signals SIGINT, and SIGALRM are restored, and thus typing CTRL-C or the triggering of an alarm will result in the Macaulay2 process terminating immediately. If b is true, then the default Macaulay2 signal handlers are installed, and thus control will be returned to top level after the code currently executing notices that the interrupt flag has been set.
Description
The command line option --int has the same effect as handleInterrupts=false.
