Shell中的trap中断(interrupts)

Today I met some shell scirpts like the following:

1
trap "rm -f $file; exit" INT TERM EXIT

More code here:

cleanup() {
    echo "Cleaning stuff up..."
    exit
}

trap cleanup INT TERM
echo ' --- press ENTER to close --- '
read var
cleanup

change “trap cleanup INT TERM” above to “trap cleanup INT TERM EXIT” and then execute the script. Enter ‘exit’ and see what differences will happen.
