explain_socketpair(3) Library Functions Manual explain_socketpair(3) NAME explain_socketpair - explain socketpair(2) errors SYNOPSIS #include <libexplain/socketpair.h> const char *explain_socketpair(int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); const char *explain_errno_socketpair(int errnum, int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); void explain_message_socketpair(char *message, int message_size, int do- main, int type, int protocol, int *sv); void explain_message_errno_socketpair(char *message, int message_size, int errnum, int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); DESCRIPTION These functions may be used to obtain explanations for errors returned by the socketpair(2) system call. explain_socketpair const char *explain_socketpair(int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); The explain_socketpair function is used to obtain an explanation of an er- ror returned by the socketpair(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much bet- ter, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be de- coded. domain The original domain, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. type The original type, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. protocol The original protocol, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) sys- tem call. sv The original sv, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. Returns: The message explaining the error. This message buffer is shared by all libexplain functions which do not supply a buffer in their ar- gument list. This will be overwritten by the next call to any lib- explain function which shares this buffer, including other threads. Note: This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library. Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (socketpair(domain, type, protocol, sv) < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", explain_socketpair(domain, type, proto- col, sv)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_socket- pair_or_die(3) function. explain_errno_socketpair const char *explain_errno_socketpair(int errnum, int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); The explain_errno_socketpair function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the socketpair(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. errnum The error value to be decoded, usually obtained from the errno global variable just before this function is called. This is neces- sary if you need to call any code between the system call to be ex- plained and this function, because many libc functions will alter the value of errno. domain The original domain, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. type The original type, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. protocol The original protocol, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) sys- tem call. sv The original sv, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. Returns: The message explaining the error. This message buffer is shared by all libexplain functions which do not supply a buffer in their ar- gument list. This will be overwritten by the next call to any lib- explain function which shares this buffer, including other threads.

Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (socketpair(domain, type, protocol, sv) < 0) { int err = errno; fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", explain_errno_socketpair(err, domain, type, protocol, sv)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_socket- pair_or_die(3) function. explain_message_socketpair void explain_message_socketpair(char *message, int message_size, int do- main, int type, int protocol, int *sv); The explain_message_socketpair function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the socketpair(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be de- coded. message The location in which to store the returned message. If a suitable message return buffer is supplied, this function is thread safe. message_size The size in bytes of the location in which to store the returned message. domain The original domain, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. type The original type, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. protocol The original protocol, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) sys- tem call. sv The original sv, exactly as passed to the socketpair(2) system call. Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: if (socketpair(domain, type, protocol, sv) < 0) { char message[3000]; explain_message_socketpair(message, sizeof(message), domain, type, protocol, sv); fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", message); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_socket- pair_or_die(3) function. explain_message_errno_socketpair void explain_message_errno_socketpair(char *message, int message_size, int errnum, int domain, int type, int protocol, int *sv); The explain_message_errno_socketpair function is used to obtain an explana- tion of an error returned by the socketpair(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail. message The location in which to store the returned message.
