If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strsignal
|
|
functions locate the descriptive message
|
|
string for a signal number.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strsignal
|
|
function accepts a signal number argument
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
and returns a pointer to the corresponding message string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn psignal
|
|
function accepts an signal number argument
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
and writes it to the standard error.
|
|
If the argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
is
|
|
.Pf non- Dv NULL
|
|
and does not point to the null character,
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
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 message strings can be accessed directly
|
|
through the external array
|
|
.Va sys_siglist ,
|
|
indexed by recognized signal numbers.
|
|
The external array
|
|
.Va 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
|
|
.Dv NSIG
|
|
contains a count of the strings in
|
|
.Va sys_siglist
|
|
and
|
|
.Va sys_signame .
