# trap
> Automatically execute commands after receiving signals by processes or the operating system.
> Can be used to perform cleanups for interruptions by the user or other actions.

- List active traps for the current shell:
`trap`
- Set a trap to execute commands when one or more signals are detected:
`trap 'echo "Caught signal {{SIGHUP}}"' {{SIGHUP}}`
- Remove active traps:
`trap - {{SIGHUP}} {{SIGINT}}`
