Package: @imqueue/core 3.3.2 — generated reference, not hand-written

Enable process signal handling (SIGTERM, SIGINT, SIGABRT) by the manager. When enabled, the manager stops its UDP workers on these signals and then re-raises the signal, so the process terminates through the default signal behavior. Disable if the host application manages its own shutdown sequence.

**Signature:**

```typescript
handleSignals: boolean;
```

## Default Value

true

## Remarks

The handlers are installed once per process, by the first manager created with this enabled, and on a signal they stop every UDP worker in the process — including those of managers created with this option disabled. So disabling it only means this instance does not install the handlers; it does not exempt its worker from a shutdown another instance triggers.

Once installed, the handlers remain for the lifetime of the process, even after every manager has been destroyed.
