#include <string.h> char* strerror( int errnum );
libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The strerror() function maps the error number contained in errnum to an error message.
A pointer to the error message.
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( void ) { FILE *fp; fp = fopen( "file.name", "r" ); if( fp == NULL ) { printf( "Unable to open file: %s\n", strerror( errno ) ); } return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
