strsignal


Description:

public unowned string strsignal (int signum)

Returns a string describing the given signal, e.

g. "Segmentation fault". If the signal is unknown, it returns “unknown signal (<signum>)”.

You should use this function in preference to `strsignal()`, because it returns a string in UTF-8 encoding, and since not all platforms support the `strsignal()` function.

Parameters:

signum

the signal number. See the `signal` documentation

Returns:

the string describing the signal
