Most of the C or even Unix errno in c function calls return -1 or NULL in case of any error and set an error code errno. It is set as a global variable and indicates an error occurred during any function call. You can find various error codes defined in

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up What are “cerr” and “stderr”? up vote 16 down vote favorite 1 What is the difference between them and how are they used? Can anyone point me to examples? Specifically, how do you "write" to the stream in both cases and how do you recover and output (i.e. to the screen) the text that had been written to it? Also, the "screen" output is itself a stream right? Maybe I don't understand streams well enough. This can also be saved to a file of course, I know. Would all of these use fprintf / fscanf, etc? c++ c error-handling stderr share|improve this question edited Feb 26 '15 at 10:17 Tshepang 4,6731059102 asked Jul 8 '10 at 1:32 Russel 1,21831830 6 No need to apologise for asking a newbie question. SO is meant for all skill levels. –paxdiablo Jul 8 '10 at 1:43 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 19 down vote accepted cerr is the C++ stream and stderr is the C file handle, both representing the standard error output. You write to them the same way you write to other streams and file handles: cerr << "Urk!\n"; fprintf (stderr, "Urk!\n"); I'm not sure what you mean by "recover" in this context, the output goes to standard error and that's it. The program's not meant to care about it after that. If you mean how to save it for later, from outside the program, see the next paragraph. By default, they'll go to your terminal but the output can be redirected elsewhere with something like: run_my_prog 2>error.out And, yes, the "screen" output is a stream (or file handle) but that's generally only because stdout/cout and stderr/cerr are connected to your "screen" by default. Redirection will affect this as in the following case where nothing will be written to your screen: run_my_prog >/dev/null 2>&1 (tricky things like writing directly to /dev/tty notwithstanding). That snippet will redirect both standard output and standard error to go to the bit bucket. share|improve this answer answered Jul 8 '10 at 1:37 paxdiablo 488k1179691416 1 The other difference is that standard error is either not buffered (i.e. auto-flush on every write) or line-buffered (auto-flu
