strerror(3C) strerror(3C) NAME strerror - get error message string SYNOPSIS #include <string.h> char *strerror (int errnum); DESCRIPTION strerror maps the error number in errnum to an error message string, and returns a pointer to that string. strerror uses the same set of error messages as perror. The returned string should not be overwritten. SEE ALSO perror(3C). NOTES Code using sys_errlist, and _sys_errlist directly will not be able to display any errno greater than 152. Page 1
