.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBpsignal()\fR and \fBpsiginfo()\fR functions produce messages on the standard error output describing a signal.  The \fIsig\fR argument is a signal that may have been  passed as the first argument to a signal handler.  The \fIpinfo\fR argument is a pointer to a \fBsiginfo\fR structure that may have been passed as the second argument to an enhanced signal handler.  See \fBsigaction\fR(2). The argument string \fIs\fR is printed first, followed by a colon and a blank, followed by the message and a \fBNEWLINE\fR character. 
.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
Messages printed from these functions are in the native language specified by the \fBLC_MESSAGES\fR locale category.  See \fBsetlocale\fR(3C).
