NAME

|
----
|
|
tep_strerror - Returns a string describing regular errno and tep error number.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------

|
[verse]
|
|
--
|
|
*#include <event-parse.h>*
|
|
|
|
int *tep_strerror*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_errno _errnum_, char pass:[*]_buf_, size_t _buflen_);
|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
The _tep_strerror()_ function converts tep error number into a human
|
|
readable string.
|
|
The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The _errnum_ is a regular
|
|
errno, defined in errno.h, or a tep error number. The string, describing this
|
|
error number is copied in the _buf_ argument. The _buflen_ argument is
|
|
the size of the _buf_.
|
|
|
|
It as a thread safe wrapper around strerror_r(). The library function has two
|
|
different behaviors - POSIX and GNU specific. The _tep_strerror()_ API always
|
|
behaves as the POSIX version - the error string is copied in the user supplied
|
|
buffer.
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
------------
|
|
The _tep_strerror()_ function returns 0, if a valid _errnum_ is passed and the
|
|
string is copied into _buf_. If _errnum_ is not a valid error number,
|
|
-1 is returned and _buf_ is not modified.
