IPSEC_STRERROR(3)       NetBSD Library Functions Manual      IPSEC_STRERROR(3)


NAME
ipsec_strerror - error code for IPsec policy manipulation library
LIBRARY
IPsec Policy Control Library (libipsec, -lipsec)
SYNOPSIS
#include <netinet6/ipsec.h> const char * ipsec_strerror();
DESCRIPTION
netinet6/ipsec.h declares extern int ipsec_errcode; which is used to pass an error code from IPsec policy manipulation library to an user program. ipsec_strerror() can be used to obtain the error message string for the error code. The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program. Since ipsec_strerror() uses strerror(3) as underlying function, calling strerror(3) after ipsec_strerror() would make the return value from ipsec_strerror() invalid, or overwritten.
RETURN VALUES
ipsec_strerror() always return a pointer to C string. The C string must not be overwritten by user programs.
SEE ALSO
ipsec_set_policy(3)
HISTORY
ipsec_strerror() first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
BUGS
ipsec_strerror() will return its result which may be overwritten by sub- sequent calls. ipsec_errcode is not thread safe. NetBSD 2.0 May 6, 1998 NetBSD 2.0
