PSIGNAL 3C "Aug 14, 2014"
NAME
psignal, psiginfo - system signal messages
SYNOPSIS

#include <siginfo.h>

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

void psiginfo(const siginfo_t *pinfo, const 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, followed by a colon and a blank, followed by the message and a NEWLINE character. If s is the value NULL or an empty string, then nothing is printed for the user's string and the colon and blank are omitted.

USAGE

Messages printed from these functions are in the native language specified by the LC_MESSAGES locale category. See setlocale(3C).
