t_strerror(3N)t_strerror(3N)NAMEt_strerror - produce an error message string
SYNOPSIS
#ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <xti.h>
char *t_strerror(int errnum)
#endif
DESCRIPTIONt_strerror maps the error number in errnum that corresponds 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 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 codes defined in <xti.h>. If an error code is unknown,
t_strerror() returns the string:
<error>: error unknown
where <error> is the error number supplied as input and is represented as
%d within the message text. The implementation uses the format of %2d to
produce a maximum of two ASCII decimal digits within the message text
returned. So, an error number greater than decimal 99 will produce a
decimal value of 99.
EXAMPLE
For a t_errno equal to 5, the following corresponding message pointer is
returned:
char *msgptr;
msgptr = t_strerror((int)5);
The returned diagnostic message pointer would point to the text:
couldn't allocate address
This function resides within the X/Open compliant libxnet Network
Services library. Network Services applications which require X/Open
compliance must link-load with -lxnet.
DIAGNOSTICSt_strerror() returns a pointer to the generated message string.
