Most of the C or even Unix function calls return -1 or NULL in case of any error and set an error code errno. It https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_error_handling.htm is set as a global variable and indicates an error occurred during any function call. You can find various error codes defined in
of a library call. The functions strerror and perror give you the standard error message for a given error code; the variable program_invocation_short_name gives you convenient access to the name of the program that http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Error-Messages.html encountered the error. Function: char * strerror (int errnum) Preliminary: | MT-Unsafe 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 standard error by strerror. Also, if you make subsequent calls to strerror, the string might be overwritten. (But it’s guaranteed that no library function 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 c standard error 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 perror (const char *message) Preliminary: | MT-Safe race:stderr | AS-Unsafe corrupt i18n heap lock | AC-Unsafe corrupt lock mem fd | See POSIX Safety Concepts. This function prints an error message to the stream stderr; see Standard Streams. The orientation of stderr is not changed. If you call perror with a message that is either a null pointer or an empty string, perror just prints the error message corresponding to errno, adding a trailing newline. If you supply a non-null message argument, then perror prefixes its output with this string. It adds a colon and a space character
