SYNOPSIS

9       #include <comedilib.h>
10
11       void comedi_perror (const char * s);

DESCRIPTION

14       When a Comedilib function fails, it usually returns -1 or NULL, depend‐
15       ing on the return type.  An internal library variable stores  an  error
16       number,  which can be retrieved with comedi_errno().  This error number
17       can be converted to a human-readable form by the functions  comedi_per‐
18       ror() and comedi_strerror().
19
20       These  functions  are  intended to mimic the behavior of the standard C
21       library functions perror(),  strerror(),  and  errno.   In  particular,
22       Comedilib  functions sometimes return an error that is generated inside
23       the C library; the comedi error message in this case is the same as the
24       C library.
25
26       The  function  comedi_perror()  prints an error message to stderr.  The
27       error message consists of the argument string,  a  colon,  a  space,  a
28       description of the error condition, and a new line.
