installHandler :: Handler -> IO Handler
Allows Windows console events to be caught and handled. To handle a console event, call `installHandler` passing the appropriate `Handler` value. When the event is received, if the `Handler` value is `Catch f`, then a new thread will be spawned by the system to execute `f e`, where `e` is the `ConsoleEvent` that was received. Note that console events can only be received by an application running in a Windows console. Certain environments that look like consoles do not support console events, these include: Cygwin shells with `CYGWIN=tty` set (if you don't set `CYGWIN=tty`, then a Cygwin shell behaves like a Windows console). * Cygwin xterm and rxvt windows * MSYS rxvt windows In order for your application to receive console events, avoid running it in one of these environments.
