Имя (Name)

pmErrStr, pmErrStr_r - convert a PMAPI error code into a string

Синопсис C (C Synopsis)

#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       const char *pmErrStr(int code);
       char *pmErrStr_r(int code, char *buf, int buflen);

       cc ... -lpcp

Описание (Description)

Translate an error code into a text string, suitable for
       generating a diagnostic message.  The pmErrStr_r function does
       the same, but stores the result in a user-supplied buffer buf of
       length buflen, which should have room for at least
       PM_MAXERRMSGLEN bytes.

       By convention, all error codes are negative.  The small values
       are assumed to be negated versions of the Unix error codes as
       defined in <errno.h> and the strings returned are as per
       strerror(3).  The larger, negative error codes are Performance
       Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) error
       conditions and pmErrStr(3) returns an appropriate PMAPI error
       string, as determined by code.

Примечание (Note)

pmErrStr returns a pointer to a static buffer, so the returned
       value is only valid until the next call to pmErrStr and hence is
       not thread-safe.  Multi-threaded applications should use
       pmErrStr_r instead.
