NAME¶

xs_strerror - get error message string

SYNOPSIS¶

const char *xs_strerror (int errnum);

DESCRIPTION¶

The xs_strerror() function shall return a pointer to an error message string corresponding to the error number specified by the errnum argument. As Crossroads define additional error numbers over and above those defined by the operating system, applications should use xs_strerror() in preference to the standard strerror() function.

RETURN VALUE¶

The xs_strerror() function shall return a pointer to an error message string.

ERRORS¶

No errors are defined.

EXAMPLE¶

Displaying an error message when the context cannot be initialised.

void *ctx = xs_init (1, 1, 0);
if (!ctx) {


    printf ("Error occurred during xs_init(): %s\n", xs_strerror (errno));


    abort ();
}
