tep_strerror - Returns a string describing regular errno and tep error number.
Contents
Description
The tep_strerror() function converts tep error number into a human readable string. The tep argument is
trace event parser context. The errnum is a regular errno, defined in errno.h, or a tep error number. The
string, describing this error number is copied in the buf argument. The buflen argument is the size of
the buf.
It as a thread safe wrapper around strerror_r(). The library function has two different behaviors - POSIX
and GNU specific. The tep_strerror() API always behaves as the POSIX version - the error string is copied
in the user supplied buffer.
Example
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
char buf[32];
char *pool = calloc(1, 128);
if (tep == NULL) {
tep_strerror(tep, TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED, buf, 32);
printf ("The pool is not initialized, %s", buf);
}

Return Value
The tep_strerror() function returns 0, if a valid errnum is passed and the string is copied into buf. If
errnum is not a valid error number, -1 is returned and buf is not modified.
