LIBTRACEEVENT(3) libtraceevent Manual LIBTRACEEVENT(3)
NAME
tep_strerror - Returns a string describing regular errno and tep
error number.
SYNOPSIS
#include <event-parse.h>
int tep_strerror(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_errno errnum, char *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.
EXAMPLE
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
char buf[32];
char *pool = calloc(1, 128);
if (tep == NULL) {
tep_strerror(tep, TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED, buf, 32);
printf ("The pool is not initialized, %s", buf);
}
...
