NAME

psignal, psiginfo − system signal messages

SYNOPSIS

#include <siginfo.h>

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

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

DESCRIPTION

psignal and psiginfo produce messages on the standard error output describing a 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 argument string s is printed first, then a colon and a blank, then the message and a newline.
