(ANSI Standard)

Usage:

#include <string.h>
msg = strerror(errnum);

Where:

int errnum;

is an error number (that is, one of the recognized values that "errno" may take).

char *msg;

is a message explaining the meaning of the given error number.

Description:

The "strerror" function returns a string describing the error associated with the given error number. For example,

strerror(EDOM)

returns a pointer to a string describing the EDOM error. Programs may not use this pointer to modify the returned string.
