LEARN ABOUT POSIX
strsignal
STRSIGNAL(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual STRSIGNAL(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
strsignal -- get name of signal
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strsignal(int signum);
DESCRIPTION
The strsignal() function shall map the signal number in signum to an implementation-defined string and shall return a pointer to it. It
shall use the same set of messages as the psignal() function.
The application shall not modify the string returned. The returned pointer might be invalidated or the string content might be overwritten
by a subsequent call to strsignal() or setlocale().
The contents of the message strings returned by strsignal() should be determined by the setting of the LC_MESSAGES category in the current
locale.
The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this standard calls strsignal().
Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0, then
call strsignal(), then check errno.
The strsignal() function need not be thread-safe.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, strsignal() shall return a pointer to a string. Otherwise, if signum is not a valid signal number, the return
value is unspecified.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
If signum is not a valid signal number, some implementations return NULL, while for others the strsignal() function returns a pointer to a
string containing an unspecified message denoting an unknown signal. POSIX.1-2008 leaves this return value unspecified.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
