NAME
t_strerror() — produce an error message string
SYNOPSIS
#include <xti.h> /* for X/OPEN Transport Interface - XTI */
char *t_strerror (errnum);
int errnum;
DESCRIPTION
The
t_strerror()
function maps the error number in
errnum
that corresponds to an XTI (X/OPEN Transport Interface)
error to a language-dependent error message string and
returns a pointer to the string. The string pointed to may not be modified by
the program, but may be overwritten by a subsequent call to the
t_strerror()
function. The string is not terminated by a newline character. The
language for error message strings written by
t_strerror()
is implementation-defined.
If it is English, the error message string describing the value in
t_errno
is identical to the comments following the
t_errno
defined in
<xti.h>.
If an error code is unknown, and the language is English,
t_strerror()
returns the string:
where
error
is the error number supplied as input. In other languages, an
equivalent text is provided.
Valid Status
All - apart from
T_UNINIT.
Fork Safety
t_strerror
is not fork-safe.
RETURN VALUE
The function
t_strerror()
returns a pointer to the generated message string.
