他的实现是基于Pokey McPokerson建议的,但更直接：他使用Technical Q&A QA1123
Getting List of All Processes on Mac OS X中的GetBSDProcessList()获取子进程的列表,并向其中的每个发送SIGINT：

kinfo_proc *procs = NULL;
size_t count;
if (0 != GetBSDProcessList(&procs,&count)) {
    return;
}
BOOL hasChildren = NO;
for (size_t i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    // If the process if a child of our bash process we send SIGINT to it
    if (procs[i].kp_eproc.e_ppid == task.processIdentifier) {
        hasChildren = YES;

        kill(procs[i].kp_proc.p_pid,SIGINT);
    }
}
free(procs);

如果一个进程没有子进程,他会直接向该进程发送SIGINT：

if (hasChildren == NO) {
    kill(task.processIdentifier,SIGINT);
}

这种方法是完美的,但有两个可能的问题(我本人不在乎我正在写我自己的玩具终端)：

>每次按Ctrl-C时,通过所有进程枚举是非常详尽的.也许有更好的方法来找到子进程.
>我和Dmitriy我们都不确定是否杀死所有的子进程是Ctrl-C在真实终端中工作的方式.

下面是Dmitriy的完整版本代码：

    if ((flags & NSControlKeyMask) && keyCode == 8) {

        [self sendCtrlC];

    } else if ((flags & NSControlKeyMask) && keyCode == 2) {
        [masterHandle writeData:[NSData dataWithBytes: "\004" length:1]];
    } else if ((flags & NSDeviceIndependentModifierFlagsMask) == 0 && keyCode == 126) {
        NSLog(@"up");
    } else if ((flags & NSDeviceIndependentModifierFlagsMask) == 0 && keyCode == 125) {
