_P_s_i_g_n_a_l 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 <_s_i_g_n_a_l._h>.
To simplify variant formatting of signal names, the vector
of message strings _s_y_s__s_i_g_l_i_s_t is provided; the signal
number can be used as an index in this table to get the sig-
nal name without the newline. The define NSIG defined in
<_s_i_g_n_a_l._h> is the number of messages provided for in the
table; it should be checked because new signals may be added
to the system before they are added to the table.
