Code snippet for signals
Hi. This is code snipped I have. I am trying to play with signals...
Code:
int main(int argc,  char *argv[]) {

   int i;
   sigset_t s; //declare set of signals
   sigfillset(&s); //initializes the signal set  to include all of the defined signals
   int j;
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 70 ; i++){
     j = sigismember( &s , i);
     printf("Signal value->%d  %d \n", i ,j);
   }
}

I would like to print also signal in the form such as SIGQUIT if i is 3 for example.
Is that possible?That way I can easier see what signals are in my set rather then reading value of j to know if 3 is in set or not

Code:
kill -l

This is the shell command to list your signals. They are not fixed for every UNIX system.
Meaning: 3 could be a non-existent signal on your box

kill -l
actually running kill -l shows that 3) SIGQUIT is there.
I wanted to somehow print signals from my source code not from shell prompt

There's no function that converts a signal number to a string, you'll have to make a list and compare them yourself.

Code:
man 3 strsignal

strsignal is part of POSIX so it should be on most platforms.
