SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>

char ∗strsignal(int sig);

DESCRIPTION

strsignal() maps the signal number in sig to a string describing the signal, and returns a pointer to that string.  strsignal() uses the same set of the messages as psignal(3C).  The returned string should not be overwritten. 

SEE ALSO

gettext(3I), psignal(3C), setlocale(3C)

NOTES

If the application is linked with −lintl, then messages returned from this function are in the native language specified by the LC_MESSAGES locale category; see setlocale(3C).
