+/* CTRL event handler for Windows Console applications to simulate
+ * SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGBREAK on CTRL events and trigger signal handler.
+ *
+ * Background information from MSDN:
+ * SIGINT is not supported for any Win32 application. When a CTRL+C
+ * interrupt occurs, Win32 operating systems generate a new thread
+ * to specifically handle that interrupt. This can cause a single-thread
+ * application, such as one in UNIX, to become multithreaded and cause
+ * unexpected behavior.
+ * [...]
+ * The SIGILL and SIGTERM signals are not generated under Windows.
+ * They are included for ANSI compatibility. Therefore, you can set
+ * signal handlers for these signals by using signal, and you can also
+ * explicitly generate these signals by calling raise. Source:
+ * https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/signal
