ERRMSGNO(3)

okay bestie, welcome to ERRMSGNO(3) from Schily´s LIBRARY FUNCTIONS — this one is short, sweet, and lowkey iconic 💖

✨ NAME ✨

errmsgno() — prints an error message, given an error code 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe, character for character:

errmsgno (errcode, format, arg1...argn)
int errcode;
char *format;

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so errmsgno() prints an error output message corresponding to errcode, and errcode is a standard system error ✨

the way that errmsgno() begins its output with the current program name is honestly main character energy — specifically, the name as passed to it by exec 👑

and the message can be expanded with additional arguments in the same form printf() would, iykyk 🫶

🌸 RETURNS 🌸

none — that's it, that's the whole return situation 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read these too, bestie:

• comerr(3)
• comerrno(3)
• error(3)
• errmsg(3)
• error(3)
• geterrno(3)
• printf(3)
• format(3)

💜 NOTES 💜

errmsgno() is identical to comerrno() except instead of exiting, it prints the error message and returns to the caller 🫶

and if the errcode argument is positive, errmsgno() ignores it and just prints the program name and the result of expanding format() — periodt 💅
