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).
