+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strsignal ()
+function returns a string describing the signal
+number passed in the argument
+.IR sig .
+The string can be used only until the next call to
+.BR strsignal ().
+The string returned by
+.BR strsignal ()
+is localized according to the
+.B LC_MESSAGES
+category in the current locale.
+.P
+The
+.BR sigdescr_np ()
+function returns a string describing the signal
+number passed in the argument
+.IR sig .
+Unlike
+.BR strsignal ()
+this string is not influenced by the current locale.
+.P
+The
+.BR sigabbrev_np ()
+function returns the abbreviated name of the signal,
+.IR sig .
+For example, given the value
+.BR SIGINT ,
+it returns the string "INT".
+.P
+The (deprecated) array
+.I sys_siglist
+holds the signal description strings
+indexed by signal number.
+The
+.BR strsignal ()
+or the
+.BR sigdescr_np ()
+function should be used instead of this array; see also VERSIONS.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR strsignal ()
+function returns the appropriate description
+string, or an unknown signal message if the signal number is invalid.
+On some systems (but not on Linux), NULL may instead be
+returned for an invalid signal number.
+.P
+The
+.BR sigdescr_np ()
+and
+.BR sigabbrev_np ()
+functions return the appropriate description string.
+The returned string is statically allocated and valid for
+the lifetime of the program.
+These functions return NULL for an invalid signal number.
