In a program I want to read a password from the terminal, using golang.org/x/term. The problem is that there is a possibility that a signal is sent to the program, resulting in the terminal state not being restored: https://play.golang.org/p/4IjLve9gDx0
In case of term.ReadPassword, on Linux I noted that ECHO is restored, but let's ignore it. What I tried to do was to ttemporarily block the signals, using signal.Ignore and signal.Reset; the problem is that Reset doesn't reset ignored signals. Looking at the runtime code, Go only use SIG_DFL in special cases. Is there a reason why Reset don't reset ignore signals? Portability? Is there a simple, portable way, to do what I want?
