psignal, psiginfo − system signal messages

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.
