SYNOPSIS

#include <pool.h>

int pool_error(void);

const char *pool_strerror(int perr);
DESCRIPTION
The pool_error() function returns the error value of the last failure recorded by the invocation of one of the functions of the resource pool configuration library, libpool.

The pool_strerror() function returns a descriptive null-terminated string for each of the valid pool error codes.

The following error codes can be returned by pool_error():

RETURN VALUES
The pool_error() function returns the current pool error value for the calling thread from among the following: POE_ACCESS

The operation could not be performed because the configuration was not opened with the correct opening permissions.

POE_BADPARAM

A bad parameter was supplied.

POE_BAD_PROP_TYPE

An incorrect property type was submitted or encountered during the pool operation.

POE_DATASTORE

An error occurred within permanent storage.

POE_INVALID_CONF

The pool configuration presented for the operation is invalid.

POE_INVALID_SEARCH

POE_PUTPROP

POE_OK

POE_SYSTEM

An underlying system call or library function failed; errno(3C) is preserved where possible.

The pool_strerror() function returns a pointer to the string corresponding to the requested error value. If the error value has no corresponding string, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
