353 be more symbolic names than messages, or vice versa. In fact, the
354 manual page for @code{psignal(3b)} explicitly warns that one should
355 check the size of the table (@code{NSIG}) before indexing it, since
356 new signal codes may be added to the system before they are added to
357 the table. Thus @code{NSIG} might be smaller than value implied by
358 the largest signo value defined in @code{<signal.h>}.

361 symbolic name or message.

391 the @code{sys_siglist}, but no message is available for the particular
392 signal number, then returns the string @samp{Signal @var{num}}, where
393 @var{num} is the signal number.
395 If the supplied signal number is not a valid index into
396 @code{sys_siglist}, returns @code{NULL}.
