What is the Windows equivalent of process.on('SIGINT') in node.js?

Question

I\'m following the guidance here (listening for SIGINT events) to gracefully shutdown my Windows-8-hosted node.js application in response to Ctrl+

You have to use the readline module and listen for a SIGINT event:

http://nodejs.org/api/readline.html#readline_event_sigint

if (process.platform === "win32") {
  var rl = require("readline").createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
  });

  rl.on("SIGINT", function () {
    process.emit("SIGINT");
  });
}

process.on("SIGINT", function () {
  //graceful shutdown
  process.exit();
});
