.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
||
|
|
function locates the descriptive message
|
||
|
|
string for the given signal number
|
||
|
|
.Fa sig
|
||
|
|
and writes it to the standard error.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If the argument
|
||
|
|
.Fa s
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
||
|
|
it is written to the standard error file descriptor
|
||
|
|
prior to the message string,
|
||
|
|
immediately followed by a colon and a space.
|
||
|
|
If the signal number is not recognized
|
||
|
|
.Pq Xr sigaction 2 ,
|
||
|
|
the string
|
||
|
|
.Dq "Unknown signal"
|
||
|
|
is produced.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn psiginfo
|
||
|
|
function produces the same output as the
|
||
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
||
|
|
function, only it uses the signal number information from the
|
||
|
|
.Fa si
|
||
|
|
argument.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The message strings can be accessed directly using the external array
|
||
|
|
.Va sys_siglist ,
|
||
|
|
indexed by recognized signal numbers.
|
||
|
|
The external array
|
||
|
|
.Va sys_signame
|
||
|
|
is used similarly and contains short, upper-case abbreviations for signals
|
||
|
|
which are useful for recognizing signal names in user input.
|
||
|
|
The defined variable
|
||
|
|
.Dv NSIG
|
||
|
|
contains a count of the strings in
|
||
|
|
.Va sys_siglist
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Va sys_signame .
