NAME

psignal, psiginfo - system signal messages

SYNOPSIS

#include <siginfo.h>

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

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

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.
