DESCRIPTION

20       The scf_error() function returns the current libscf(3LIB)  error  value
21       for  the  current  thread. If the immediately previous call to a libscf
22       function failed, the error value will reflect the reason for that fail‐
23       ure.
24
25
26       The  scf_strerror() function takes an error code previously returned by
27       scf_error() and returns a human-readable, localized description of  the
28       error.
29
30
31       The error values are as follows:
32
33       SCF_ERROR_BACKEND_ACCESS
34
35           The  storage mechanism that the repository server (svc.configd(1M))
36           chose for the operation denied access.
37
38
39       SCF_ERROR_BACKEND_READONLY
40
41           The storage mechanism  that  the  repository  server  (svc.configd)
42           chose  for  the  operation  is  read-only. For the local filesystem
43           storage mechanism (currently /etc/svc/repository.db), this  usually
44           occurs  because  the  filesystem  that contains it is mounted read-
45           only. See mount(1M)
46

48       SCF_ERROR_CONNECTION_BROKEN

147       is  undefined if the immediately previous call to a libscf function did
148       not fail.
