     This example shows how to pass along <literal>CTRL+BREAK</literal> events to a child
     process. In this case the child process echoes <literal>I'm still alive</literal>
     every second, until the user presses <literal>CTRL+BREAK</literal>, what causes
     only the child process to be terminated.
