of a library call. The functions strerror and perror give you the standard error message for a given error c error function code; the variable program_invocation_short_name gives you convenient access to the c error codes name of the program that encountered the error. Function: char * strerror (int errnum) Preliminary: | MT-Unsafe c programming error codes race:strerror | AS-Unsafe heap i18n | AC-Unsafe mem | See POSIX Safety Concepts. The strerror function maps the error code (see Checking for Errors) specified by the

errnum argument to a descriptive error message string. The return value is a pointer to this string. The value errnum normally comes from the variable errno. You should not modify the string returned by strerror. Also, if you make subsequent calls to strerror, the string might be overwritten. (But it’s guaranteed that no library function c print error message errno ever calls strerror behind your back.) The function strerror is declared in string.h. Function: char * strerror_r (int errnum, char *buf, size_t n) Preliminary: | MT-Safe | AS-Unsafe i18n | AC-Unsafe | See POSIX Safety Concepts. The strerror_r function works like strerror but instead of returning the error message in a statically allocated buffer shared by all threads in the process, it returns a private copy for the thread. This might be either some permanent global data or a message string in the user supplied buffer starting at buf with the length of n bytes. At most n characters are written (including the NUL byte) so it is up to the user to select a buffer large enough. This function should always be used in multi-threaded programs since there is no way to guarantee the string returned by strerror really belongs to the last call of the current thread. The function strerror_r is a GNU extension and it is declared in string.h. Function: void
the value of the error of the last function call. The value might be one of the following: 0 No Error. Library functions never set errno to zero, error c-82e10193 but the startup code does that just before calling main (this is ANSI C requirement).
C Stderr
1 EDOM -- Numerical input to a function is out of range. 2 ERANGE -- Numerical output of a function is out

of range. 3 E2BIG -- Argument list too long. system and the functions from the spawn family assign this to errno when the command line is too long (longer than 126-character limit when invoking non-DJGPP programs, or http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Error-Messages.html longer than the transfer buffer size when invoking DJGPP programs). 4 EACCES -- Permission denied. Attempt to write to a read-only file, or remove a non-empty directory, or open a directory as if it were a file, etc. In essence, it's a DOS way of saying "You can't do that, but I'm too stupid to know why." 5 EAGAIN -- Resource temporarily unavailable, try again later. Almost never used in DJGPP, except when http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/libc/libc_293.html DOS returns error code 3Dh ("network print queue full") 81h (NetWare4 "CWait children still running") or 9Bh (NetWare4 "unable to create another TCB"). 6 EBADF -- Bad file descriptor: an invalid file handle passed to a library function. 7 EBUSY -- Resource busy. Attempt to remove current directory (including current directory on another drive), or when a networked resource, such as a drive, is in use by another process. 8 ECHILD -- No child processes. Returned by wait and waitpid, and by NetWare-related calls. 9 EDEADLK -- Resource deadlock avoided. Never used in DJGPP. 10 EEXIST -- File exists. Returned by open and mkdir when a file or directory by that name already exists. 11 EFAULT -- Bad address. A function was passed a bad pointer (like a NULL pointer). 12 EFBIG -- File too large. Never used in DJGPP. 13 EINTR -- Interrupted system call. system and the functions of the spawn family use that when the child program was interrupted by Ctrl-C. Also, when DOS returns the "fail on INT 24h" error code. 14 EINVAL -- Invalid argument. Any case when any argument to a library function is found to be invalid. Examples include invalid drive number, "." or ".." as one of the arguments to rename, syntax errors in the command line passed to system,

Everything was working perfectly until the Feb 18th update. In my case, Steam will launch, but some games are broken. For example, I can launch Borderlands 2 fine, Kingdom Rush, however, goes to a black screen, then closes. I have purged Steam, re-installed from steampowered and from the Debian repos, checked all the symlinks, etc. Nothing has fixed the issue for me. I am using Debian Jessie/Sid with libc6:i386 version 2.19 The only two interesting things that come up on to console are: Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6 and .steam/root/steam.sh: line 756: .steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam: Too many levels of symbolic links The latter comes when I close Steam. dsx75 commented Feb 23, 2015 Probabl

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 I installed Steam from the software center and it installed and I went to run it from the terminal by typing in steam This is what I get : Steam needs to install these additional packages: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, libc6:i386 Reading package lists...
