Never used C-shell. Man csh shows a section "Signal handling" that
mentions "onintr". In the builtins later on,it has "hup" processing and
an expanded description of "onintr". Doesn't seem to be quite as
powerful as bash's "trap", but without testing, one never knows what was
omitted from the docs.

The onintr seems to handle the special condition of traps for interrupts
of a general nature and hang-ups specifically. If *really* handles
general interrupts, implied by the use of that word, or just interrupts
as from the keyboard, is unclear to me.

Regardless, from a quick scan of its narrative, it seems less powerful
than "trap". But that may be only due to my ignorance.
