PSIGNAL(3C) Standard C Library Functions PSIGNAL(3C)

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).
