PSIGNAL(3)               BSD Library Functions Manual               PSIGNAL(3)

NAME
     psignal, strsignal, sys_siglist, sys_signame -- system signal messages

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <signal.h>

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

     extern const char * const sys_siglist[];
     extern const char * const sys_signame[];

     #include <string.h>

     char *
     strsignal(int sig);

DESCRIPTION
     The psignal() and strsignal() functions locate the descriptive message string for a signal number.

     The strsignal() function accepts a signal number argument sig and returns a pointer to the correspond-ing corresponding
     ing message string.

     The psignal() function accepts a signal number argument sig and writes it to the standard error.  If
     the argument s is non-NULL and does not point to the null character, s is written to the standard error
     file descriptor prior to the message string, immediately followed by a colon and a space.  If the sig-nal signal
     nal number is not recognized (sigaction(2)), the string ``Unknown signal'' is produced.

     The message strings can be accessed directly through the external array sys_siglist, indexed by recog-nized recognized
     nized signal numbers.  The external array sys_signame is used similarly and contains short, lower-case
     abbreviations for signals which are useful for recognizing signal names in user input.  The defined
     variable NSIG contains a count of the strings in sys_siglist and sys_signame.

RETURN VALUES
     strsignal() a pointer to the desired message or a NULL value indicating an error.  This string is not
     to be freed by the caller.  Beginning with Mac OSX 10.7, this string is unique to each thread.

ERRORS
     strsignal() will fail and no additional memory will be allocated if one of the following are true:

     [ENOMEM]           There was insufficient memory to allocate storage space for the return value in the
                        running thread.

SEE ALSO
     sigaction(2), perror(3), strerror(3)

HISTORY
     The psignal() function appeared in 4.2BSD.
