Function Documentation

const char* explain_errno_futimesat	(	int	errnum,
		int	fildes,
		const char *	pathname,
		const struct timeval *	data
	)

The explain_errno_futimesat function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the futimesat(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:

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.
fildes	The original fildes, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
pathname	The original pathname, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
data	The original data, exactly as passed to the futimesat(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 (futimesat(fildes, pathname, data) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s", explain_errno_futimesat(err, fildes,
         pathname, data));
 }

The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_futimesat_or_die function.

const char* explain_futimesat	(	int	fildes,
		const char *	pathname,
		const struct timeval *	data
	)

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

The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded.

Parameters:

fildes	The original fildes, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
pathname	The original pathname, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
data	The original data, exactly as passed to the futimesat(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 (futimesat(fildes, pathname, data) < 0)
 {
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s\n", explain_futimesat(fildes, pathname,
         data));
 }

void explain_message_errno_futimesat	(	char *	message,
		int	message_size,
		int	errnum,
		int	fildes,
		const char *	pathname,
		const struct timeval *	data
	)

The explain_message_errno_futimesat function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the futimesat(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:

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.
fildes	The original fildes, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
pathname	The original pathname, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.
data	The original data, exactly as passed to the futimesat(2) system call.

Example:

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

 if (futimesat(fildes, pathname, data) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     char message[3000];
     explain_message_errno_futimesat(message, sizeof(message), err, fildes,
         pathname, data);
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s", message);
 }

The above code example is available pre-packaged as the explain_futimesat_or_die function.
