Error numbers may contain an OS supplied error code in addition to an ELF API specific error code. An error number value of zero indicates no error. .Pp Function .Fn elf_errno is used to retrieve the last error recorded by the ELF library. Invoking this function has the side-effect of resetting the ELF library's recorded error number to zero. .Pp The function .Fn elf_errmsg returns a null-terminated string with a human readable description of the error specified in argument .Ar error . A zero value for argument .Ar error retrieves the most recent error encountered by the ELF library. An argument value of -1 behaves identically, except that it guarantees a non-NULL return from .Fn elf_errmsg . .Sh RETURN VALUES Function .Fn elf_errno returns a non-zero value encoding the last error encountered by the ELF library, or zero if no error was encountered. .Pp Function .Fn elf_errmsg returns a pointer to library local storage for non-zero values of argument .Ar error . With a zero argument, the function will return a NULL pointer if no error had been encountered by the library, or will return a pointer to library local storage containing an appropriate message otherwise. .Sh EXAMPLES Clearing the ELF library's recorded error number can be accomplished by invoking .Fn elf_errno and discarding its return value. .Bd -literal -offset indent /* clear error */ (void) elf_errno(); .Ed .Pp Retrieving a human-readable description of the current error number can be done with the following snippet: .Bd -literal -offset indent int err; const char *errmsg; \&... err = elf_errno(); if (err != 0) errmsg = elf_errmsg(err); .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr elf 3 , .Xr gelf 3 .Sh BUGS Function .Fn elf_errmsg is not localized.
