DESCRIPTION

16       This function returns a string that describes  the  error  code  `err',
17       which normally comes from the variable `errno'. Example:
18
19          PACKFILE *input_file = pack_fopen("badname", "r");
20          if (input_file == NULL)
21             allegro_message("%s\nSorry!\n", ustrerror(errno));

RETURN VALUE

24       Returns  a  pointer  to  a static string that should not be modified or
25       freed. If you make subsequent calls to ustrerror(), the string will  be
26       overwritten.
