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.
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
MSDNs Unix Code Migration Guide has a chapter about Win32 code conversion and signal handling.
Although Microsoft has decided to archive this brilliant guide, it is very useful.
Three methods are described:
Native signals
Event objects
Messages
May be Windows Power Management from MSDN would be helpful. But it deals with system events rather than per process.
For a process, you would be able to detect termination with WM_CLOSE. You would need to handle windows messages. If it's a console application you would need to install a control handler; take a look at SetConsoleCtrlHandler on MSDN
