Ruby and capturing ^C

Hello!

Is there any way to capture or "trap" ^C within Ruby? Something similar to shell "trapping" is what I am after so that I can do clean up in the event ^C is pressed.

TIA!
Phy

It's one thing when you don't know what to search for, but did you even try?

This should do the trick:

trap("INT") do
    ...code block...
end
