Tcl_SignalId(3tcl)

💖 Tcl_SignalId — the Tcl Library Procedures glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Tcl_SignalId(3tcl), part of the Tcl Library Procedures fam 🫶 this one is short and sweet but it's lowkey iconic, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

Tcl_SignalId, Tcl_SignalMsg — convert signal codes 🔔

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tcl.h>

const char *
Tcl_SignalId(sig)

const char *
Tcl_SignalMsg(sig)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• int sig (in) — a POSIX signal number, like SIGPIPE. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so both Tcl_SignalId and Tcl_SignalMsg take that signal number (sig) and hand you back a string representation of it. two functions, two completely different energies:

• Tcl_SignalId returns a machine-readable textual identifier, like "SIGPIPE" — the kind of thing you'd feed to a computer, no cap. 🤖
• Tcl_SignalMsg returns a human-readable string, like "bus error" — the kind of thing you'd say out loud to your bestie. 😭

⚠️ bestie listen, this part matters: the strings these functions return are statically allocated. so the caller must not free them and must not modify them. hands off, okay? they're not yours. 🙈
