t_strerror(3N)                                        t_strerror(3N)


       NAME
             t_strerror - get error message string

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [options] file -lnsl
             #include <xti.h>
             char *t_strerror(int errnum);

          Parameters
             errnum    the TLI/XTI number for the language-dependent error
                       message string.

       DESCRIPTION
             The t_strerror function is a TLI/XTI local management routine
             that returns, for the error number specified by errnum, the
             pointer to a language dependent error message string.

             When t_strerror is issued, the contents of the string pointed
             to on return are not modified, but may be modified by a
             subsequent call to t_strerror.

             The comments used in the header file xti.h to describe the
             values in t_errno are identical to the error message string
             pointed to by t_strerror on return. If the language is not
             English, the text provided is equivalent.

             The error message string itself is not ended by a newlne
             character.

             If the value supplied in errnum is not recognized, the
             response from t_strerror is a pointer to the following string:

                         <errnum>: error unknown

             where <errnum> is the value supplied on the call.

          Return Values
             t_strerror returns a string pointer to the requested error.
             No errors are defined.

          State Transitions
             t_strerror  may be issued from any valid state except T_UNINIT
             and has no effect on the state.
