## Disable Unicode
|
||||
Traps allow you to execute code on various signals. In `pxltrm` I'm using traps to redraw the user interface on window resize. Another use case is cleaning up temporary files on script exit.
|
||||
|
||||
If your script doesn't require unicode, you can disable it for a speed boost. Results may vary but I've seen an improvement in Neofetch and some other smaller programs.
|
||||
These `trap` lines should be added near the start of your script so any early errors are also caught.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** For a full list of signals, see `trap -l`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Do something on script exit
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# Disable unicode.
|
||||
LC_ALL=C
|
||||
LANG=C
|
||||
# Clear screen on script exit.
|
||||
trap 'printf \\e[2J\\e[H\\e[m' EXIT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Ignore terminal interrupt (CTRL+C, SIGINT)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
trap '' INT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## React to window resize.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# Call a function on window resize.
|
||||
trap 'code_here' SIGWINCH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Do something before every command.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
trap 'code_here' DEBUG
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Do something when a shell function or a sourced file finishes executing
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
trap 'code_here' RETURN
|
||||
```
