Function Documentation

const char* explain_errno_munmap ( int  errnum,
void *  data,
size_t  data_size 
)

The explain_errno_munmap function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the munmap(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errnum), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.

Parameters:
errnumThe error value to be decoded, usually obtained from the errno global variable just before this function is called. This is necessary if you need to call any code between the system call to be explained and this function, because many libc functions will alter the value of errno.
dataThe original data, exactly as passed to the munmap(2) system call.
data_sizeThe original data_size, exactly as passed to the munmap(2) system call.
Returns:
The message explaining the error. This message buffer is shared by all libexplain functions which do not supply a buffer in their argument list. This will be overwritten by the next call to any libexplain function which shares this buffer, including other threads.
Note:
This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library.
Example:
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
 if (munmap(data, data_size) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", explain_errno_munmap(err, data, data_size));
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }
The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_munmap_or_die function.

void explain_message_errno_munmap ( char *  message,
int  message_size,
int  errnum,
void *  data,
size_t  data_size 
)

The explain_message_errno_munmap function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the munmap(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errnum), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.

Parameters:
messageThe location in which to store the returned message. If a suitable message return buffer is supplied, this function is thread safe.
message_sizeThe size in bytes of the location in which to store the returned message.
errnumThe error value to be decoded, usually obtained from the errno global variable just before this function is called. This is necessary if you need to call any code between the system call to be explained and this function, because many libc functions will alter the value of errno.
dataThe original data, exactly as passed to the munmap(2) system call.
data_sizeThe original data_size, exactly as passed to the munmap(2) system call.
Example:
This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
 if (munmap(data, data_size) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     char message[3000];
     explain_message_errno_munmap(message, sizeof(message), err, data,
         data_size);
     fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", message);
     exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }
The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_munmap_or_die function.
