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

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

602 NAME
604 strerror -- map an error number to an error message string
606 SYNOPSIS
608 char *strerror (int errnoval)
610 DESCRIPTION
612 Maps an errno number to an error message string, the contents of
613 which are implementation defined. On systems which have the external
614 variables sys_nerr and sys_errlist, these strings will be the same
615 as the ones used by perror().
617 If the supplied error number is within the valid range of indices
618 for the sys_errlist, but no message is available for the particular
619 error number, then returns the string "Error NUM", where NUM is the
620 error number.
622 If the supplied error number is not a valid index into sys_errlist,
623 returns NULL.
625 The returned string is only guaranteed to be valid only until the
626 next call to strerror.

676 NAME
678 strerrno -- map an error number to a symbolic name string
680 SYNOPSIS
682 const char *strerrno (int errnoval)
684 DESCRIPTION
686 Given an error number returned from a system call (typically
687 returned in errno), returns a pointer to a string containing the
688 symbolic name of that error number, as found in <errno.h>.
690 If the supplied error number is within the valid range of indices
691 for symbolic names, but no name is available for the particular
692 error number, then returns the string "Error NUM", where NUM is
693 the error number.
695 If the supplied error number is not within the range of valid
696 indices, then returns NULL.
698 BUGS
700 The contents of the location pointed to are only guaranteed to be
701 valid until the next call to strerrno.
