DESCRIPTION

18       The psignal() and psiginfo() functions produce messages on the standard
19       error output describing a signal.  The sig argument is  a  signal  that
20       may  have  been  passed as the first argument to a signal handler.  The
21       pinfo argument is a pointer to a siginfo structure that may  have  been
22       passed  as  the  second  argument  to  an enhanced signal handler.  See
23       sigaction(2). The argument string s is printed  first,  followed  by  a
24       colon and a blank, followed by the message and a NEWLINE character.
25

USAGE

27       Messages printed from these functions are in the native language speci‐
28       fied by the LC_MESSAGES locale category.  See setlocale(3C).
