STRSIGNAL(1)            System General Commands Manual            STRSIGNAL(1)

NAME
     strsignal - print signal names and matching signal numbers

SYNOPSIS
     strsignal [-hlmwx] [signum...]

DESCRIPTION
     The strsignal utility writes a list of signal names and signal numbers.
     If one or more signum are listed then only these names and numbers will
     be printed.

     The options are as follows:

     -h      A short description of the options will be printed.

     -l      List all of the signals by name, number and description.

     -m      List all of the signals by number, shell usage name and descrip-
             tion.

     -w      Suppress any warning messages (such as unknown signal number).

     -x      Same as the h option.

     The Interix signals are numbered virtually identically to other Unix sys-
     tems.  There are some minor differences due to system differences; signal
     number 7 is an example. However "kill -9" is mandated to map to SIGKILL
     on all systems by POSIX.2.

     You are encouraged to use signal names in scripts and at the shell com-
     mand line for script portability.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The strsignal utility shall exit with one of the following values: 0 when
     successful and >0 when not successful.

ENVIRONMENT
     No environment variables are used.
