psignal(3C-ucb)         (BSD Compatibility Package)         psignal(3C-ucb)

NAME
     psignal, syssiglist - system signal messages

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/ucb/cc [flag ...] file ... -lucb

     psignal(sig, s)
     unsigned sig;
     char *s;

     char *syssiglist[];

DESCRIPTION
     psignal produces a short message on the standard error file describing
     the indicated signal. First the argument string s is printed, then a
     colon, then the name of the signal and a NEWLINE. Most usefully, the
     argument string is the name of the program which incurred the signal.
     The signal number should be from among those found in <signal.h>.

     To simplify variant formatting of signal names, the vector of message
     strings syssiglist is provided; the signal number can be used as an
     index in this table to get the signal name without the newline. The
     define NSIG defined in <signal.h> is the number of messages provided
     for in the table; it should be checked because new signals may be
     added to the system before they are added to the table.
