.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR err
|
|
and
|
|
.BR warn
|
|
family of functions display a formatted error message on the standard
|
|
error output, or on another file specified using the
|
|
.BR err_set_file
|
|
function.
|
|
In all cases, the last component of the program name, a colon character,
|
|
and a space are output.
|
|
If the
|
|
.IR fmt
|
|
argument is not NULL, the formatted error message, a colon character,
|
|
and a space are output.
|
|
In the case of the
|
|
.BR err ,
|
|
.BR verr ,
|
|
.BR warn ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR vwarn
|
|
functions, the error message string affiliated with the current value of
|
|
the global variable
|
|
.IR errno
|
|
is output.
|
|
In all cases, the output is followed by a newline character.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR err ,
|
|
.BR verr ,
|
|
.BR errx ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR verrx
|
|
functions do not return, but exit with the value of the argument
|
|
.RI ( eval )
|
|
The
|
|
.BR err_set_exit
|
|
function can be used to specify a function which is called before
|
|
.BR exit (3)
|
|
to perform any necessary cleanup; passing a null function pointer for
|
|
.IR exitf
|
|
resets the hook to do nothing.
|
|
