IPSEC_STRERROR(3) Library Functions Manual IPSEC_STRERROR(3) NAME ipsec_strerror -- error messages for the IPsec policy manipulation library LIBRARY IPsec Policy Control Library (libipsec, -lipsec) SYNOPSIS #include <netinet6/ipsec.h> const char * ipsec_strerror(void); DESCRIPTION netinet6/ipsec.h declares extern int ipsec_errcode; which is used to pass an error code from the IPsec policy manipulation li- brary to a program. ipsec_strerror() can be used to obtain the error mes- sage string for the error code. The array pointed to is not to be modified by the calling program. Since ipsec_strerror() uses strerror(3) as underlying function, calling str- error(3) after ipsec_strerror() will make the return value from ipsec_str- error() invalid or overwritten. RETURN VALUES ipsec_strerror() always returns a pointer to a C string. The C string must not be overwritten by the calling program. SEE ALSO ipsec_set_policy(3) HISTORY ipsec_strerror() first appeared in the WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit. BUGS ipsec_strerror() will return its result which may be overwritten by subse- quent calls. ipsec_errcode is not thread safe. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly May 6, 1998 IPSEC_STRERROR(3)
