PSIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PSIGNAL(3)
psignal, psiginfo - print signal description
#include <signal.h>
void psignal(int sig, const char *s);
void psiginfo(const siginfo_t *pinfo, const char *s);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
psignal():
Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
Glibc 2.19 and earlier:
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
psiginfo():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
The psignal() function displays a message on stderr consisting of
the string s, a colon, a space, a string describing the signal
number sig, and a trailing newline. If the string s is NULL or
empty, the colon and space are omitted. If sig is invalid, the
message displayed will indicate an unknown signal.
The psiginfo() function is like psignal(), except that it
displays information about the signal described by pinfo, which
should point to a valid siginfo_t structure. As well as the
signal description, psiginfo() displays information about the
origin of the signal, and other information relevant to the
signal (e.g., the relevant memory address for hardware-generated
signals, the child process ID for SIGCHLD, and the user ID and
process ID of the sender, for signals set using kill(2) or
sigqueue(3)).
The psignal() and psiginfo() functions return no value.
The psiginfo() function was added to glibc in version 2.10.

POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD.
In glibc versions up to 2.12, psiginfo() had the following bugs:
* In some circumstances, a trailing newline is not printed.
* Additional details are not displayed for real-time signals.
