       The  strsignal()  function  shall map the signal number in signum to an implementation-defined string and
       shall return a pointer to it.  It shall use the same set of messages as the psignal() function.

       The application shall not modify the string returned. The returned pointer might be  invalidated  or  the
       string  content  might  be  overwritten by a subsequent call to strsignal() or setlocale().  The returned
       pointer might also be invalidated if the calling thread is terminated.

       The contents of the message strings returned by strsignal() should be determined by the  setting  of  the
       LC_MESSAGES category in the current locale.

       The implementation shall behave as if no function defined in this standard calls strsignal().

       Since  no  return  value  is  reserved  to  indicate  an error, an application wishing to check for error
       situations should set errno to 0, then call strsignal(), then check errno.

       The strsignal() function need not be thread-safe.

       No errors are defined.

       strsignal — get name of signal

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

       If signum is not a  valid  signal  number,  some  implementations  return  NULL,  while  for  others  the
       strsignal()  function returns a pointer to a string containing an unspecified message denoting an unknown
       signal. POSIX.1‐2008 leaves this return value unspecified.

       Upon successful completion, strsignal() shall return a pointer to a string. Otherwise, if signum is not a
       valid signal number, the return value is unspecified.
