ERR(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ERR(3)

NAME

err, verr, errx, verrx, warn, vwarn, warnx, vwarnx, — formatted error messages

SYNOPSIS

#include <err.h>

void

err(int eval, const char *fmt, ...);

void

errx(int eval, const char *fmt, ...);

void

warn(const char *fmt, ...);

void

warnx(const char *fmt, ...);

#include <stdarg.h>

void

verr(int eval, const char *fmt, va_list args);

void

verrx(int eval, const char *fmt, va_list args);

void

vwarn(const char *fmt, va_list args);

void

vwarnx(const char *fmt, va_list args);

DESCRIPTION

The err() and warn() family of functions display a formatted error message on the standard error output. In all cases, the last component of the program name, a colon character, and a space are output. If the fmt argument is not NULL, the printf(3) -like formatted error message is output. The output is terminated by a newline character.

The err(), verr(), warn(), and vwarn() functions append an error message obtained from strerror(3) based on a code or the global variable errno, preceded by another colon and space unless the fmt argument is NULL.

The err(), verr(), warn(), and vwarn() functions use the global variable errno to look up the error message.

The errx() and warnx() functions do not append an error message.

The err(), verr(), errx(), and verrx() functions do not return, but exit with the value of the argument eval.

EXAMPLES

Display the current errno information string and exit:

if ((p = malloc(size)) == NULL)

err(1, NULL);

if ((fd = open(file_name, O_RDONLY, 0)) == -1)

err(1, "%s", file_name);

Display an error message and exit:

if (tm.tm_hour < START_TIME)

errx(1, "too early, wait until %s", start_time_string);

Warn of an error:

if ((fd = open(raw_device, O_RDONLY, 0)) == -1)

warnx("%s: %s: trying the block device",

raw_device, strerror(errno));

if ((fd = open(block_device, O_RDONLY, 0)) == -1)

err(1, "%s", block_device);
