Does control-C from console interrupt ash script execution?

Hello All,

I am executing an ash init script from initramfs.  I have only the
console for I/O at this time -- no TTYs available.

My init script prompts for input like so:

               printf " is that correct? (y|n) -> "
               read confirm

Should I be able to interrupt ash script execution with a control-C?

I am trying to trap it in my script as follows:

trap abort 2

In case you are wondering, 'abort' is a shell script function.

Thanks,

Dallas
