SYNOPSIS
#include <xti.h>
char *t_strerror(
int errnum );
LIBRARY

dards as follows:

Notes to Table: This is a meaningful parameter. This is not a meaning‐
ful parameter. Specifies an error number that corresponds to an XTI
error.
DESCRIPTION
The t_strerror() function maps the error number in errnum that corre‐
sponds to an XTI error to a language-dependent error message string and
returns a pointer to the string. The string pointed to will not be mod‐
ified by the program, but it may be overwritten by a subsequent call to
the t_strerror() function. The string is not terminated by a newline
character.
The language for error message strings written by t_strerror() is
implementation-defined. If it is English, the error message string
describing the value in t_errno is identical to the comments following
the t_errno codes defined in <xti.h>. If an error code is unknown and
the language is English, t_strerror() returns the following string,
where error is the error number supplied as input: "error: error
unknown"
In other languages, an equivalent text is provided.
RETURN VALUES
The function t_strerror() returns a pointer to the generated message
string.
VALID STATES
The t_strerror() function can be called in all the transport provider
states, except T_UNINIT.
