STRERROR(3)

💖 STRERROR(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this one is from the Library Functions Manual (manual name folded in near the top, as requested ✨), and it is short, sweet, and very much to the point. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

• strerror — return error message string given error number

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

char* strerror(int err)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So strerror returns the error message string that corresponds to the error message number err. That is literally its whole job, and it ate. 💅

And if err is invalid? Then Error nnn is returned. That is the tea. 🫶

That's the whole page, bestie — STRERROR(3) from the Library Functions Manual. The original footer does not list a source/version or date, so I am not inventing any 📅💖 mwah!
