ipsec_strerror()
Error messages for IPsec policy manipulation library
Synopsis:
#include <netinet6/ipsec.h>
const char *ipsec_strerror( void );
Library:
libipsec
Use the -l ipsec option to qcc to link against this library.
Description:
The ipsec_strerror() function obtains the error message for the last IPsec call that failed. If your program includes the declaration:
extern int ipsec_errcode;
you can access the error code from the IPsec policy manipulation library. You can use ipsec_strerror() to obtain the error message corresponding to the error code.
Returns:
A pointer to a C string.
CAUTION:
Don't modify the string that this function returns.
Since ipsec_strerror() uses
strerror()
as its underlying function, calling strerror() after
calling ipsec_strerror() overwites or invalidates the return value
from ipsec_strerror().
Examples:
See the example of ipsec_set_policy().
