Description

The dat_strerror() function converts a DAT return code into human readable strings. The major_message is a string-converted DAT_TYPE_STATUS, while minor_message is a string-converted DAT_SUBTYPE_STATUS. If the return of this function is not DAT_SUCCESS, the values of major_message and minor_message are not defined.

If an undefined DAT_RETURN value was passed as the return parameter, the operation fails with DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER returned. The operation succeeds when DAT_SUCCESS is passed in as the return parameter.

Return Values

DAT_SUCCESS

The operation was successful.

DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER

Invalid parameter. The return value is invalid.
