psignal(3C)                                                     psignal(3C)

NAME
     psignal, psiginfo - output system signal messages

SYNOPSIS
     #include <siginfo.h>

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

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

DESCRIPTION
     psignal() and psiginfo() produce messages on the standard error output
     (stderr) describing the specified signal. sig is a signal that may
     have been passed as the first argument to a signal handler. pinfo 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 argu-
     ment string s is printed first, then a colon and a blank, then a sys-
     tem message describing the signal, and a newline.

     The contents of the string returned by this function are determined by
     the setting of the LCMESSAGES environment variable in the current
     locale.
