Description

       When a Comedilib function fails, it usually returns -1 or NULL, depending on the return type. An internal
       library variable stores an error number, which can be retrieved with comedi_errno. This error number can
       be converted to a human-readable form by the functions comedi_perror or comedi_strerror.

       These functions are intended to mimic the behavior of the standard C library functions perror, strerror,
       and errno. In particular, Comedilib functions sometimes return an error that is generated inside the C
       library; the comedi error message in this case is the same as the C library.

       The function comedi_strerror returns a pointer to a character string describing the Comedilib error
       errnum. The returned string may be modified by a subsequent call to a strerr or perror function (either
       the libc or Comedilib versions). An unrecognized error number will return a pointer to the string
       “undefined error”, or similar.
