NAME¶
remctl_error - Retrieve the error from a failed remctl operation
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <remctl.h>
const char *
remctl_error(struct remctl *
r);
DESCRIPTION¶
remctl_error() returns the error from a previously failed remctl
operation. Its only argument is a remctl struct as returned by
remctl_new(). If the previous remctl operation was successful, returns
the constant string "No error".
The caller may not modify the returned string. The string may even be stored in
read-only memory and attempting to modify it may cause a memory fault. The
returned pointer will be invalidated by the next call to any remctl API
function with the same client object, other than
remctl_error().
RETURN VALUE¶
remctl_error() returns either the previous error or the constant string
"No error". It will never return NULL.
COMPATIBILITY¶
This interface has been provided by the remctl client library since its initial
release in version 2.0.
