Standard C Library Functions                          psignal(3C)



NAME
     psignal, psiginfo - system signal messages

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void psignal(int sig, const char *s);


     void psiginfo(siginfo_t *pinfo, char *s);


DESCRIPTION
     The psignal() and psiginfo() functions produce  messages  on
     the  standard  error  output  describing  a signal.  The sig
     argument is a signal that may have been  passed as the first
     argument  to  a  signal  handler.   The  pinfo argument is a
     pointer to a siginfo structure that may have been passed  as
     the  second  argument  to  an  enhanced signal handler.  See
     sigaction(2). The argument string s is printed  first,  fol-
     lowed  by a colon and a blank, followed by the message and a
     NEWLINE character.

USAGE
     Messages printed from these  functions  are  in  the  native
     language  specified by the LC_MESSAGES locale category.  See
     setlocale(3C).
