How to determine if a process signaled (crashed)?

[AlexDenisov]

Hi @DaanDeMeyer,

First of all, thanks a lot for the great library!
I'm trying to migrate from my own half-baked implementation to your library and it feels much much better than anything I could've implemented myself!

There is one thing I cannot figure out yet. Is there an API to determine whether a child process signaled or not?
Currently, I can only see the exit status, but it is not very helpful since value 134 could mean either exit(134) or abort().

I would appreciate any hints on the subject.

Cheers,
Alex.

reproc follows bash here so unfortunately, there isn't yet a way to determine whether a process exited because of a signal or normally.

It shouldn't be too hard to add though. We can store an extra property telling whether the process exited with a signal or not and expose it via a new function reproc_signalled(). I'd happily review a PR for that.
