slurm_get_errno, slurm_perror, slurm_strerror \- Slurm error handling functions
.SH "SYNTAX"
.LP
#include <slurm/slurm_errno.h>
.LP
int \fBslurm_get_errno\fR ( );
.LP
void \fBslurm_perror\fR (
.br
	char *\fIheader\fP
.br
);
.LP
char * \fBslurm_strerror\fR (
.br
	int \fIerrnum\fP
.br
);
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.LP
.TP
\fIerrnum\fP
A Slurm error code.
.TP
\fIheader\fP
A pointer to a string used as a message header for printing along with an error description.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
\fBslurm_get_errno\fR Return the error code as set by the Slurm API function executed.
.LP
\fBslurm_perror\fR Print to standard error the supplied header followed by a colon followed by a text description of the last Slurm error code generated.
.LP
\fBslurm_strerror\fR Given a Slurm error code, return a pointer to a text description of the error's meaning.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.LP
\fBslurm_get_errno\fR returns an error code or zero if no error was generated by the last Slurm function call executed. \fBslurm_strerror\fR returns a pointer to a text string, which is empty if no error was generated by the last Slurm function call executed.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.LP
#include <stdio.h>
.br
#include <slurm/slurm.h>
.br
#include <slurm/slurm_errno.h>
.LP
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
.br
{
.br
	/* assume Slurm API function failed here */
.br
	fprintf (stderr, "Slurm function errno = %d\\n",
.br
	         slurm_get_errno ());
.br
	fprintf (stderr, "Slurm function errno = %d %s\\n",
.br
	         slurm_get_errno (),
.br
	         slurm_strerror (slurm_get_errno ()));
