478 NAME
480 init_error_tables -- initialize the name and message tables
482 SYNOPSIS
484 static void init_error_tables ();
486 DESCRIPTION
488 Using the error_table, which is initialized at compile time, generate
489 the error_names and the sys_errlist (if needed) tables, which are
490 indexed at runtime by a specific errno value.
492 BUGS
494 The initialization of the tables may fail under low memory conditions,
495 in which case we don't do anything particularly useful, but we don't
496 bomb either. Who knows, it might succeed at a later point if we free
497 some memory in the meantime. In any case, the other routines know
498 how to deal with lack of a table after trying to initialize it. This
499 may or may not be considered to be a bug, that we don't specifically
500 warn about this particular failure mode.

566 @deftypefn Extension int errno_max (void)
568 Returns the maximum @code{errno} value for which a corresponding
569 symbolic name or message is available. Note that in the case where we
570 use the @code{sys_errlist} supplied by the system, it is possible for
571 there to be more symbolic names than messages, or vice versa. In
572 fact, the manual page for @code{perror(3C)} explicitly warns that one
573 should check the size of the table (@code{sys_nerr}) before indexing
574 it, since new error codes may be added to the system before they are
575 added to the table. Thus @code{sys_nerr} might be smaller than value
576 implied by the largest @code{errno} value defined in @code{<errno.h>}.
578 We return the maximum value that can be used to obtain a meaningful
579 symbolic name or message.

602 @deftypefn Supplemental char* strerror (int @var{errnoval})
604 Maps an @code{errno} number to an error message string, the contents
605 of which are implementation defined. On systems which have the
606 external variables @code{sys_nerr} and @code{sys_errlist}, these
607 strings will be the same as the ones used by @code{perror}.
609 If the supplied error number is within the valid range of indices for
610 the @code{sys_errlist}, but no message is available for the particular
611 error number, then returns the string @samp{Error @var{num}}, where
612 @var{num} is the error number.
614 If the supplied error number is not a valid index into
615 @code{sys_errlist}, returns @code{NULL}.
617 The returned string is only guaranteed to be valid only until the
618 next call to @code{strerror}.

670 @deftypefn Replacement {const char*} strerrno (int @var{errnum})
672 Given an error number returned from a system call (typically returned
673 in @code{errno}), returns a pointer to a string containing the
674 symbolic name of that error number, as found in @code{<errno.h>}.
676 If the supplied error number is within the valid range of indices for
677 symbolic names, but no name is available for the particular error
678 number, then returns the string @samp{Error @var{num}}, where @var{num}
679 is the error number.
681 If the supplied error number is not within the range of valid
682 indices, then returns @code{NULL}.
684 The contents of the location pointed to are only guaranteed to be
685 valid until the next call to @code{strerrno}.
