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+

Unless you need the "readline" import for other tasks, I would suggest importing "readline" once the program has verified that it's running on Windows. Additionally, for those who might be unaware - this works on both Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit systems (which will return the keyword "win32"). Thanks for this solution Gabriel.

if (process.platform === "win32") {
  require("readline")
    .createInterface({
      input: process.stdin,
      output: process.stdout
    })
    .on("SIGINT", function () {
      process.emit("SIGINT");
    });
}

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