43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
46function sets the runtime-constraint handler to be
47.Fa handler .
48.Pp
49The runtime-constraint handler is the callback function invoked when a library
50function detects a runtime-constraint violation, having the following prototype:
51.Bd -literal -offset indent
52void (*constraint_handler_t)(const char *restrict msg,
53    void *restrict ptr, errno_t error);
54.Ed
55.Pp
56The arguments are as follows:
57.Bl -tag -width "error"
58.It Fa msg
59A pointer to a character string describing the runtime-constraint violation.
60.It Fa ptr
61A
62.Dv NULL
63pointer.
64.It Fa error
65If the function calling the handler has a return type declared as
66.Vt errno_t ,
67the return value of the function is passed.
68Otherwise, a positive value of type
69.Vt errno_t
70is passed.
71.El
72.Pp
73Only the most recent handler registered with
74.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
75is called when a runtime-constraint violation occurs.
76.Pp
77The implementation has a default constraint handler that is used if no calls to
78the
79.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
80function have been made.
81If the
82.Fa handler
83argument to
84.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
85is a
86.Dv NULL
87pointer, the default handler becomes the current constraint handler.
88.Pp
89The
90.Fn abort_handler_s
91and
92.Fn ignore_handler_s
93are the standard-defined runtime-constraint handlers provided by the C library.
94.Pp
95The
96.Fn abort_handler_s
97function writes the error message including the
98.Fa msg
99to
100.Dv stderr
101and calls the
102.Xr abort 3C
103function.
104The
105.Fn abort_handler_s
106is currently the default runtime-constraint handler.
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn ignore_handler_s
110simply returns to its caller.
111.Sh RETURN VALUES
112The
113.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
114function returns a pointer to the previously registered handler, or
115.Dv NULL
116if none was previously registered.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn abort_handler_s
120function does not return to its caller.
121.Pp
122The
123.Fn ignore_handler_s
124function returns no value.

127.Sh MT-LEVEL
128.Sy Safe
129.Sh STANDARDS
130The
131.Fn set_constraint_handler_s
132function conforms to
133.St -isoC-2011 .
