Function Documentation
The explain_errno_fsetpos function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the fsetpos(3) 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:
-
errnum | The 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. |
fp | The original fp, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) system call. |
pos | The original pos, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) 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 (fsetpos(fp, pos) < 0)
{
int err = errno;
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", explain_errno_fsetpos(err, fp, pos));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
- The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_fsetpos_or_die function.

The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded.
- Parameters:
-
fp | The original fp, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) system call. |
pos | The original pos, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) system call. |

The explain_message_errno_fsetpos function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the fsetpos(3) 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:
-
message | The location in which to store the returned message. If a suitable message return buffer is supplied, this function is thread safe. |
message_size | The size in bytes of the location in which to store the returned message. |
errnum | The 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. |
fp | The original fp, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) system call. |
pos | The original pos, exactly as passed to the fsetpos(3) system call. |
- Example:
- This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
if (fsetpos(fp, pos) < 0)
{
int err = errno;
char message[3000];
explain_message_errno_fsetpos(message, sizeof(message), err, fp, pos);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", message);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
- The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_fsetpos_or_die function.
