void psignal(int sig, const char ∗s);

void psiginfo(siginfo_t ∗pinfo, char ∗s);

MT-LEVEL

DESCRIPTION

psignal() and psiginfo() produce messages on the standard error output describing a signal.  sig is a signal that may have been passed as the first argument to a signal handler.  pinfo 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, then a colon and a blank, then the message and a newline.

NOTES

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).
