extended_strerror(3C)          DG/UX 5.4R3.00          extended_strerror(3C)


NAME
       extendedstrerror - get extended error message string

SYNOPSIS
       char *extendedstrerror (long extendederrnum);

DESCRIPTION
       extendedstrerror maps the error number in extendederrnum to an
       error message string, and returns a pointer to that string.
       extendedstrerror uses the same set of error messages as
       extendedperror.  The returned string should not be overwritten.

       Many system calls return an extended error number through the
       dgexterrno system call

FILES
       /usr/lib/nls/msg/locale/exterr.cat -- message catalog.

DIAGNOSTICS
       A null pointer is returned when there is no error message string
       associated with the error number in extendederrnum.

SEE ALSO
       extendedperror(3C), strerror(3C), dgexterrno(2).
