This can be fixed by setting sigint_interrupt_enabled to true before operating on the file. Then ctrl-C would be able to cancel the command. See comment in common.c, above the declaration of sigint_interrupt_enabled: /* [....] * SIGINT is supposed to abort all long-running psql operations, not only * database queries. In most places, this is accomplished by checking * cancel_pressed during long-running loops. However, that won't work when * blocked on user input (in readline() or fgets()). In those places, we * set sigint_interrupt_enabled TRUE while blocked, instructing the signal * catcher to longjmp through sigint_interrupt_jmp. We assume readline and * fgets are coded to handle possible interruption. (XXX currently this does * not work on win32, so control-C is less useful there) */ Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité PostgreSQL-powered mailer: http://www.manitou-mail.org Twitter: @DanielVerite -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
