.SH SIGNALS
Tor catches the following signals:
.TP
\fBSIGTERM\fR
Tor will catch this, clean up and sync to disk if necessary, and exit.
.TP
\fBSIGINT\fR
Tor clients behave as with SIGTERM; but Tor servers will do a controlled
slow shutdown, closing listeners and waiting 30 seconds before exiting.
.TP
\fBSIGHUP\fR
The signal instructs Tor to reload its configuration, fetch a new
directory, and kill and restart its helper processes if applicable.
.TP
\fBSIGUSR1\fR
Log statistics about current connections, past connections, and
throughput.
.TP
\fBSIGCHLD\fR
Tor receives this signal when one of its helper processes has exited,
so it can clean up.
.TP
\fBSIGPIPE\fR
Tor catches this signal and ignores it.
.TP
\fBSIGXFSZ\fR
If this signal exists on your platform, Tor catches and ignores it.
