13.68.7 sigdescr_np ¶

Documentation:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Signal-Messages.html.

Gnulib module: sigdescr_np

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on all non-glibc platforms: glibc 2.31, macOS 14, FreeBSD 14.0, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.5, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11.31, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 2.9, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• The description of SIGCHLD is wrong on some platforms: glibc.
• The description of SIGEMT is completely unintelligible on some platforms: glibc.

Note: This function is hardly useful, because it returns English strings, not internationalized strings. Better use the function strsignal, which returns internationalized strings.
