Function Documentation

const char* explain_errno_nanosleep	(	int	errnum,
		const struct timespec *	req,
		struct timespec *	rem
	)

The explain_errno_nanosleep function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the nanosleep(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.
req	The original req, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(2) system call.
rem	The original rem, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(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 (nanosleep(req, rem) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s", explain_errno_nanosleep(err, req,
         rem));
 }

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

void explain_message_errno_nanosleep	(	char *	message,
		int	message_size,
		int	errnum,
		const struct timespec *	req,
		struct timespec *	rem
	)

The explain_message_errno_nanosleep function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the nanosleep(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.
req	The original req, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(2) system call.
rem	The original rem, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(2) system call.

Example:

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

 if (nanosleep(req, rem) < 0)
 {
     int err = errno;
     char message[3000];
     explain_message_errno_nanosleep(message, sizeof(message), err, req,
         rem);
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s", message);
 }

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

void explain_message_nanosleep	(	char *	message,
		int	message_size,
		const struct timespec *	req,
		struct timespec *	rem
	)

The explain_message_nanosleep function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the nanosleep(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.

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

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.
req	The original req, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(2) system call.
rem	The original rem, exactly as passed to the nanosleep(2) system call.

Example:

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

 if (nanosleep(req, rem) < 0)
 {
     char message[3000];
     explain_message_nanosleep(message, sizeof(message), req, rem);
     explain_output_error_and_die("%s", message);  * }
