psignal(3UCB) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions psignal(3UCB)NAME
psignal, sys_siglist - system signal messages
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/cc [ flag ... ] file ...
void psignal(sig, s)
unsigned sig;
char *s;
char *sys_siglist[];
DESCRIPTIONpsignal() produces a short message on the standard error file describ‐
ing the indicated signal. First the argument string s is printed, then
a colon, then the name of the signal and a NEWLINE. Most usefully, the
argument string is the name of the program which incurred the signal.
The signal number should be from among those found in <signal.h>.
To simplify variant formatting of signal names, the vector of message
strings sys_siglist is provided; the signal number can be used as an
index in this table to get the signal name without the newline. The
define NSIG defined in <signal.h> is the number of messages provided
for in the table; it should be checked because new signals may be added
to the system before they are added to the table.

Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications writ‐
ten on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces with any of the system
libraries or in multi-thread applications is unsupported.
