 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The
 .BR psignal ()
-function displays a message on \fIstderr\fP
+and
+.BR psiginfo ()
+functions display a message on \fIstderr\fP
 consisting of the string \fIs\fP, a colon, a space, and a string

-If \fIsig\fP is invalid,
+describing the signal number \fIsig\fP or signal information \fIpinfo\fP.
+If the string \fIs\fP is NULL or empty, the colon and space are omitted.
+For
+.BR psignal ()
+if \fIsig\fP is invalid,
 the message displayed will indicate an unknown signal.
+For
+.BR psiginfo (),
+\fIpinfo\fP should point to a valid \fIsiginfo_t\fP structure.

 The array \fIsys_siglist\fP holds the signal description strings
 indexed by signal number.
