terminateprocess-buffer

Documentation

Overview

The terminateprocess-buffer program is designed to act as a TerminateProcess-absorbing buffer between tor and a transport plugin on Windows. On Windows, transport plugins are killed with a TerminateProcess, which doesn't give them a chance to clean up before exiting. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9330 The idea of this program is that the transport plugin can read from its standard input, which will be closed when this program is terminated. The transport plugin can then treat the stdin-closed event like a SIGTERM.
