Many functions in the GNU C library detect and report error conditions,
and sometimes your programs need to check for these error conditions.
For example, when you open an input file, you should verify that the
file was actually opened correctly, and print an error message or take
other appropriate action if the call to the library function failed.
This chapter describes how the error reporting facility works. Your
program should include the header file @file{errno.h} to use this
facility.

@section Checking for Errors
Most library functions return a special value to indicate that they have
failed. The special value is typically @code{-1}, a null pointer, or a
constant such as @code{EOF} that is defined for that purpose. But this
return value tells you only that an error has occurred. To find out
what kind of error it was, you need to look at the error code stored in the
variable @code{errno}. This variable is declared in the header file
@file{errno.h}.

@deftypevr {Variable} {volatile int} errno
The variable @code{errno} contains the system error number. You can
change the value of @code{errno}.
Since @code{errno} is declared @code{volatile}, it might be changed
asynchronously by a signal handler; see @ref{Defining Handlers}.
However, a properly written signal handler saves and restores the value
of @code{errno}, so you generally do not need to worry about this
possibility except when writing signal handlers.
The initial value of @code{errno} at program startup is zero. Many
library functions are guaranteed to set it to certain nonzero values
when they encounter certain kinds of errors. These error conditions are
listed for each function. These functions do not change @code{errno}
when they succeed; thus, the value of @code{errno} after a successful
call is not necessarily zero, and you should not use @code{errno} to
determine @emph{whether} a call failed. The proper way to do that is
documented for each function. @emph{If} the call failed, you can
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
examine @code{errno}.
Many library functions can set @code{errno} to a nonzero value as a
result of calling other library functions which might fail. You should
assume that any library function might alter @code{errno} when the
function returns an error.

@strong{Portability Note:} @w{ISO C} specifies @code{errno} as a
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
``modifiable lvalue'' rather than as a variable, permitting it to be
implemented as a macro. For example, its expansion might involve a
function call, like @w{@code{*_errno ()}}. In fact, that is what it is
on the GNU system itself. The GNU library, on non-GNU systems, does
whatever is right for the particular system.
There are a few library functions, like @code{sqrt} and @code{atan},
that return a perfectly legitimate value in case of an error, but also
set @code{errno}. For these functions, if you want to check to see
whether an error occurred, the recommended method is to set @code{errno}
to zero before calling the function, and then check its value afterward.
@end deftypevr
@pindex errno.h
All the error codes have symbolic names; they are macros defined in
@file{errno.h}. The names start with @samp{E} and an upper-case
letter or digit; you should consider names of this form to be
reserved names. @xref{Reserved Names}.
The error code values are all positive integers and are all distinct,
with one exception: @code{EWOULDBLOCK} and @code{EAGAIN} are the same.
Since the values are distinct, you can use them as labels in a
@code{switch} statement; just don't use both @code{EWOULDBLOCK} and
@code{EAGAIN}. Your program should not make any other assumptions about
the specific values of these symbolic constants.
The value of @code{errno} doesn't necessarily have to correspond to any
of these macros, since some library functions might return other error
codes of their own for other situations. The only values that are
guaranteed to be meaningful for a particular library function are the
ones that this manual lists for that function.
On non-GNU systems, almost any system call can return @code{EFAULT} if
it is given an invalid pointer as an argument. Since this could only
happen as a result of a bug in your program, and since it will not
happen on the GNU system, we have saved space by not mentioning
@code{EFAULT} in the descriptions of individual functions.
In some Unix systems, many system calls can also return @code{EFAULT} if
given as an argument a pointer into the stack, and the kernel for some
obscure reason fails in its attempt to extend the stack. If this ever
happens, you should probably try using statically or dynamically
allocated memory instead of stack memory on that system.

completion of the call. When this happens, you should try the call
again.
You can choose to have functions resume after a signal that is handled,
rather than failing with @code{EINTR}; see @ref{Interrupted

@comment errno 24 @c DO NOT REMOVE
The current process has too many files open and can't open any more.
Duplicate descriptors do count toward this limit.
In BSD and GNU, the number of open files is controlled by a resource

@comment BSD: Text file busy
@deftypevr Macro int ETXTBSY
@comment errno 26 @c DO NOT REMOVE
An attempt to execute a file that is currently open for writing, or
write to a file that is currently being executed. Often using a

Broken pipe; there is no process reading from the other end of a pipe.
Every library function that returns this error code also generates a
@code{SIGPIPE} signal; this signal terminates the program if not handled

@strong{Portability Note:} In many older Unix systems, this condition
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
was indicated by @code{EWOULDBLOCK}, which was a distinct error code
different from @code{EAGAIN}. To make your program portable, you should
check for both codes and treat them the same.
@item
A temporary resource shortage made an operation impossible. @code{fork}
can return this error. It indicates that the shortage is expected to
pass, so your program can try the call again later and it may succeed.
It is probably a good idea to delay for a few seconds before trying it
again, to allow time for other processes to release scarce resources.
Such shortages are usually fairly serious and affect the whole system,
so usually an interactive program should report the error to the user
and return to its command loop.

Not supported. A function returns this error when certain parameter
values are valid, but the functionality they request is not available.
This can mean that the function does not implement a particular command
or option value or flag bit at all. For functions that operate on some
object given in a parameter, such as a file descriptor or a port, it
might instead mean that only @emph{that specific object} (file
descriptor, port, etc.) is unable to support the other parameters given;
different file descriptors might support different ranges of parameter
values.
If the entire function is not available at all in the implementation,
it returns @code{ENOSYS} instead.

@section Error Messages
The library has functions and variables designed to make it easy for
your program to report informative error messages in the customary
format about the failure of a library call. The functions
@code{strerror} and @code{perror} give you the standard error message
for a given error code; the variable
@w{@code{program_invocation_short_name}} gives you convenient access to the
name of the program that encountered the error.

@comment ISO
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
@deftypefun {char *} strerror (int @var{errnum})
The @code{strerror} function maps the error code (@pxref{Checking for
Errors}) specified by the @var{errnum} argument to a descriptive error
message string. The return value is a pointer to this string.
The value @var{errnum} normally comes from the variable @code{errno}.
You should not modify the string returned by @code{strerror}. Also, if
you make subsequent calls to @code{strerror}, the string might be
overwritten. (But it's guaranteed that no library function ever calls
@code{strerror} behind your back.)
The function @code{strerror} is declared in @file{string.h}.

At most @var{n} characters are written (including the NUL byte) so it is
up to the user to select the buffer large enough.
This function should always be used in multi-threaded programs since
there is no way to guarantee the string returned by @code{strerror}
really belongs to the last call of the current thread.
This function @code{strerror_r} is a GNU extension and it is declared in
@file{string.h}.

@cindex name of running program
Many programs that don't read input from the terminal are designed to
exit if any system call fails. By convention, the error message from
such a program should start with the program's name, sans directories.
You can find that name in the variable
@code{program_invocation_short_name}; the full file name is stored the

@deftypevar {char *} program_invocation_short_name
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
This variable's value is the name that was used to invoke the program
running in the current process, with directory names removed. (That is
to say, it is the same as @code{program_invocation_name} minus
everything up to the last slash, if any.)
@end deftypevar
The library initialization code sets up both of these variables before
calling @code{main}.
@strong{Portability Note:} These two variables are GNU extensions. If
you want your program to work with non-GNU libraries, you must save the
value of @code{argv[0]} in @code{main}, and then strip off the directory
names yourself. We added these extensions to make it possible to write
self-contained error-reporting subroutines that require no explicit
cooperation from @code{main}.
Here is an example showing how to handle failure to open a file
correctly. The function @code{open_sesame} tries to open the named file
for reading and returns a stream if successful. The @code{fopen}
library function returns a null pointer if it couldn't open the file for
some reason. In that situation, @code{open_sesame} constructs an
appropriate error message using the @code{strerror} function, and
terminates the program. If we were going to make some other library
calls before passing the error code to @code{strerror}, we'd have to
save it in a local variable instead, because those other library
functions might overwrite @code{errno} in the meantime.

(extra-libs, libutil-routines): Ditto. * misc/login.c, misc/login_tty.c, misc/logout.c, misc/logwtmp.c, misc/utmp.h: Moved to misc/. * login/login.c, login/login_tty.c, login/logout.c, login/logwtmp.c, login/utmp.h: Moved to here from misc/. * login/utmp.h: Split file. Definitions of data structures and constants are now in the system dependent utmpbits.h file. * login/setutent_r.c, login/setutent.c, login/endutent_r.c, login/endutent.c, login/getutent_r.c, login/getutent.c, login/getutid_r.c, login/getutid.c, login/getutline_r.c, login/getutline.c, login/pututline_r.c, login/pututline.c: New files. Routines to handle utmp-style files. * sysdeps/gnu/utmpbits.h: New file. Contains GNU/Linux specific definitions of utmp data structures and constants. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/utmpbits.h: Renamed from sysdeps/unix/sysv/utmp.h. * sysdeps/generic/utmpbits.h: New file. Generic (BSDish) version of definitions of utmp data structures and constants. Fri May 17 00:01:31 1996 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * locale/C-monetary.c: Default value for mon_decimal_point should be '.'. * stdio-common/printf.h: Remove Linux libc compatibility stuff. Add `extra' flag. Currently used in __printf_fp. * stdio-common/printf_fp.c (__guess_grouping): Renamed from `guess_grouping' and extend visibility to extern. This function is now used in `strfmon'. (__printf_fp): Recognize new bit flag in info struct. This triggers to use the grouping information and decimal point from the LC_MONETARY category instead of the LC_NUMERIC category. * stdio-common/vfprintf.c (process_arg): Correct major bug. In `complicated' loop we must not use the varargs because the args are already available in the ARGS_VALUE array. * stdlib/Makefile (headers): Add monetary.h. (routines): Add strfmon. * stdlib/monetary.h: New file. Header for strfmon function. * stdlib/strfmon.c: New file. Implement strfmon function to print monetary amounts according to current locale's rules. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sys/vm86.h: The kernel header is now (>= Linux-1.3.100) called <asm/vm86.h>.
