strsignal

fun strsignal(signum: <Error class: unknown class>): String

Returns a string describing the given signal, e.g. "Segmentation fault". If the signal is unknown, it returns “unknown signal ()”.

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.

Return

the string describing the signal

Parameters

signum

the signal number. See the signal documentation
