Hello
I was looking at the man pages looking for a way to get a string of the
errno value meaning. This is kind of a user question.
This API returns "returns a pointer to a string that describes the error
code":
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strerror.3.html
However, this is a description, e.g. "Invalid argument". Is there a
function that would return "EINVAL" or "ENOENT" as the string?
Could I suggest that the text on the man page be updated to clarify what
would be returned:
"returns a pointer to a string that describes the error code. e.g.
"Invalid argument" if EINVAL was the errnum."
Best regards, Jon
