LIBXO(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual LIBXO(3) NAME xo_emit_err, xo_emit_errc, xo_emit_errx xo_emit_warn, xo_emit_warnx, xo_emit_warn_c, xo_emit_warn_hc -- emit errors and warnings in multiple output styles LIBRARY library "libxo" SYNOPSIS #include <libxo/xo.h> void xo_emit_warn(const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_warnx(const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_warn_c(int code, const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_warn_hc(xo_handle_t *xop, int code, const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_err(int eval, const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_errc(int eval, int code, const char *fmt, ...); void xo_emit_errx(int eval, const char *fmt, ...); DESCRIPTION Many programs make use of the standard library functions err(3) and warn(3) to generate errors and warnings for the user. libxo wants to pass that information via the current output style, and provides compati- ble functions to allow this. The fmt argument is one compatible with xo_emit(3) which allows these functions make structured data. To generate unstructured data, use the xo_err(3) functions. These functions display the program name, a colon, a formatted message based on the arguments, and then optionally a colon and an error message associated with either errno or the code parameter. EXAMPLE: if (open(filename, O_RDONLY) < 0) xo_err(1, "cannot open file '%s'", filename); SEE ALSO xo_emit(3), xo_format(5), xo_err(3), libxo(3) HISTORY The libxo library first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0. AUTHORS libxo was written by Phil Shafer <phil@freebsd.org>. FreeBSD 13.0 December 4, 2014 FreeBSD 13.0
