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

     The psignal() and psiginfo() functions produce  messages  on
     the  standard  error  output  describing  a signal.  The sig
     argument is a signal that may have been  passed as the first
     argument  to  a  signal  handler.   The  pinfo argument 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,  fol-
     lowed  by a colon and a blank, followed by the message and a
     NEWLINE character.

USAGE

     If the application is  linked  with  -lintl,  then  messages
     printed  from  these  functions  are  in the native language
     specified  by  the   LC_MESSAGES   locale   category.    See
     setlocale(3C).
