SYNOPSIS

9       #include <linux/netfilter.h>
10       #include <libipq.h>

12       char *ipq_errstr(void);
13       void ipq_perror(const char *s);

DESCRIPTION

16       The  ipq_errstr  function  returns a descriptive error message based on
17       the current value of the internal ipq_errno variable.  All  libipq  API
18       functions set this internal variable upon failure.
19
20       The ipq_perror function prints an error message to stderr corresponding
21       to the current value of the internal ipq_error variable, and the global
22       errno variable (if set).  The error message is prefixed with the string
23       s as supplied by the application. If s is NULL, the  error  message  is
24       prefixed with the string "ERROR".
25

RETURN VALUE

27       ipq_errstr returns an error message as outlined above.
