357 @code{sys_siglist} supplied by the system, it is possible for there to
358 be more symbolic names than messages, or vice versa. In fact, the
359 manual page for @code{psignal(3b)} explicitly warns that one should
360 check the size of the table (@code{NSIG}) before indexing it, since
361 new signal codes may be added to the system before they are added to
362 the table. Thus @code{NSIG} might be smaller than value implied by
363 the largest signo value defined in @code{<signal.h>}.
365 We return the maximum value that can be used to obtain a meaningful
366 symbolic name or message.

396 the @code{sys_siglist}, but no message is available for the particular
397 signal number, then returns the string @samp{Signal @var{num}}, where

401 @code{sys_siglist}, returns @code{NULL}.
