t_strerror(3) Library Functions Manual t_strerror(3) NAME t_strerror - Produces an error message string LIBRARY XTI Library (libxti.a) SYNOPSIS #include <xti.h> char *t_strerror (int errnum); PARAMETERS The following table summarizes the relevance of input and output para- meters before and after t_strerror() is called: center, tab (@); lb lb lb l c c. Parameters@Before Call@After Call errnum@y@n Table Notes: y This is a meaningful parameter. n This is not a meaningful parameter. errnum Specifies an error number that corresponds to an XTI error. VALID STATES The t_strerror() function can be called in all the transport provider states, except T_UNINIT. DESCRIPTION The t_strerror() function maps the error number in errnum that corre- sponds to an XTI error to a language-dependent error message string and returns a pointer to the string. The string pointed to will not be mod- ified by the program, but it 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 im- plementation-defined. If it is English, the error message string de- scribing the value in t_errno is identical to the comments following the t_errno codes defined in <xti.h>. If an error code is unknown and the language is English, t_strerror() returns the following string, where <error> is the error number supplied as input: "<error>: error unknown" In other languages, an equivalent text is provided. RETURN VALUES The function t_strerror() returns a pointer to the generated message string. RELATED INFORMATION Functions: t_error(3) delim off t_strerror(3)
