Hi all,
In 2007 I made available the (os, library, function) database that is the
basis for part of the gnulib documentation. [1]
Here comes an update, with many more recent OS versions included.

The point of this database is also to avoi

Done, as follows:

OK, pushed like this:
2020-08-22 Bruno Haible
sig2str: Add more signals.
* lib/sig2str.c (numname_table): Add SIGCPUFAIL, SIGTHR, SIGBREAK.
diff --git a/lib/sig2str.c b/lib/sig2str.c
index 905daea..cf7c3bb 100644
--- a/lib
The Gnulib documentation regarding OpenBSD is out-of-date as well.
I'm doing this update:
2020-08-22 Bruno Haible

Yes, please push; these sorts of changes are fine.
Hi Paul,
Here's a proposed patch to add a few more signal names to the list of
signals:
- SIGCPUFAIL exists on AIX. sys_siglist description: "CPU Failure Predicted"
- SIGTHR exists on OpenBSD. sys_siglist description: "Thread AST"
(whatever that may mean).
- SIGBREAK exists on native Win
The sigabbrev_np and sig2str modules are related.
2020-08-22 Bruno Haible
doc: Mention sig2str module.
* doc/glibc-functions/sigabbrev_np.texi: Mention the sig2str module.
