NAME         top

       tep_strerror - Returns a string describing regular errno and tep
       error number.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <event-parse.h>

       int tep_strerror(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_errno errnum, char *buf, size_t buflen);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.

EXAMPLE         top

           #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);
           }
           ...
