NAME

aw_strerror, aw_errno, aw_perror- Obtain and display error messages

SYNOPSIS

cc [flag...] file... -lbsm -lsocket -lnsl -lintl -ltsol [library...]


#include <bsm/auditwrite.h> 
int aw_errno;

char * aw_strerror(const int status);
void aw_perror(const char * s);

DESCRIPTION

aw_errno is a variable set by auditwrite(3) to indicate the type of error encountered during its execution, in much the same manner as errno(3C) is set during a system or library call. The supporting functions convert auditwrite(3) error numbers into text strings.

aw_strerror() takes a specified return value status and returns a pointer to a string constant that is the error string.

aw_perror() prints the error message corresponding to status as " s : error_message " to standard error.
