NAME
psignal, psiginfo - system signal messages
SYNOPSIS
#include <siginfo.h>
void psignal(
int sig,
const char *s);
void psiginfo(
const siginfo_t *pinfo,
const 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,
followed by a colon and a blank, followed by the message and a
NEWLINE character. If
s is the value
NULL or an empty string, then
nothing is printed for the user's string and the colon and blank are
omitted.
USAGE
Messages printed from these functions are in the native language
specified by the
LC_MESSAGES locale category. See
setlocale(3C).
