strerror(3C)                                            strerror(3C)


       NAME
             strerror - get error message string

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <string.h>
             char *strerror (int errnum);

       DESCRIPTION
             strerror maps the error number in errnum to an error message
             string, and returns a pointer to that string.  It returns the
             string "Unknown Error" for invalid values of errnum.

             strerror uses the same set of error messages as perror.  The
             returned string should not be overwritten.
