Linux errno error handling function

Http://www.cnblogs.com/sjz-sjz/archive/2012/09/11/2680846.html

Returns a Linux function of the void type.

However, when a function fails, errno (an int-type variable that uses errno, the program must contain the errno. h header file) changes accordingly. Different values indicate different errors.

Therefore, it is inconvenient to directly use this variable to indicate an error. Therefore, you must go back to errno. h to view the macro definition every time you want to know the error.

Therefore, you can obtain detailed error information in the following ways:

1. Void perror (const char * s );

Function Description: the header file of the function is stdio. h.

This function outputs the error of the previous function to the standard error (stderr), and the parameter S refers to the parameter output first (this parameter is irrelevant to the error and can be added as needed ), then output the cause of the error (string), which is based on the value of errno.

2. char * strerror (INT errnum );

Function Description: the header file of the function is string. h.

The parameter is generally errno. You can convert the value corresponding to errno into the corresponding error message (string)

3. printf ("% m", errno );

This usage also directly outputs the error message of the previous function. The second parameter may not

When these three error messages are used together, pay attention to their order. Otherwise, the function may not be able to output the error message due to the influence of the previous wrong output function.

 

Note: errno cannot be used to determine whether an error occurred in the previous operation. It can only be used to obtain error information when an error occurs.

Not all function error messages are stored in errno:

For example, the function: struct hostent * gethostbyname (const char * Name); its error information is stored in h_errno.

Errno. H-C error codes in Linux

All the Linux/C error codes are listed below.

I occasionally Google C error codes, but always end up grepping through/usr/include to find the answer (on Ubuntu 8.10 ). to save myself, and a few others, some time in the future...
