Name
       psignal, sys_siglist - system signal messages

Syntax
       void psignal(sig, s)
       unsigned sig;
       char *s;

       char *sys_siglist[];

Description
       The  subroutine	produces  a  short  message  on  the  standard error file describing the indicated signal.  First the argument string s is
       printed, then a colon, then the name of the signal and a new-line.  Most usefully, the argument string is the name  of  the  program  which
       incurred the signal.  The signal number should be from among those found in <signal.h>.

       To  simplify  variant  formatting of signal names, the vector of message strings is provided.  The signal number can be used as an index in
       this table to get the signal name without the newline.  The define NSIG defined in <signal.h> is the number of messages.
