.SH NAME

.BR psignal ,

|

\- system signal messages
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <sys/signal.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
void
|
|
\fBpsignal\fR (unsigned \fIsig\fR, const char *\fIs\fR);
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
extern const char * const \fBsys_siglist\fR[];
|
|
.br
|
|
extern const char * const \fBsys_signame\fR[];
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR psignal
|
|
function locates the descriptive message
|
|
string for the given signal number
|
|
.I sig
|
|
and writes it to the standard error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.I s
|
|
is non-NULL,
|
|
it is written to the standard error file descriptor
|
|
prior to the message string,
|
|
immediately followed by a colon and a space.
|
|
If the signal number is not recognized (see
|
|
.BR sigaction (2)),
|
|
the string
|
|
.I "Unknown signal"
|
|
is produced.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The message strings can be accessed directly
|
|
through the external array
|
|
.IR sys_siglist ,
|
|
indexed by recognized signal numbers.
|
|
The external array
|
|
.IR 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 macro
|
|
.BR NSIG
|
|
contains a count of the strings in
|
|
.IR sys_siglist
|
|
and
|
|
.IR sys_signame .
|

|
|
.BR psignal
|
|
function appeared in 4.2BSD.
