.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/signal.h>
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn psignal "unsigned sig" "const char *s"
|
|
.Vt extern char *sys_siglist[];
|

.Vt extern char *sys_signame[];
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
function locates the descriptive message
|
|
string for the given signal
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
number
|
|
and writes it to the
|
|
.Em stderr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
it is written to the
|
|
.Em stderr
|
|
prior to the message string.
|
|
The signal number should be from among those found in
|
|
.Aq Pa signal.h .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The message strings can be accessed directly using the external array
|
|
.Va sys_siglist ,
|
|
indexed by recognized signal numbers. The external array
|
|
.Va sys_signame
|
|
is used similarly and contains short, lower-case abbreviations for signals
|
|
which are useful for recognizing signal names in user input. The defined
|
|
variable
|
|
.Dv NSIG
|
|
contains a count of the strings in
|
|
.Va sys_siglist
|
|
and
|
|
.Va sys_signame .
