-.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.
