NAME

       dat_strerror - convert a DAT return code into human readable strings

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_strerror(
	   IN	 DAT_RETURN    return,
	   OUT	 const char    **major_message,
	   OUT	 const char    **minor_message
	   )

PARAMETERS

       return	       DAT function return value.

       message	       A pointer to a character string for the return.

DESCRIPTION

       The  dat_strerror()  function converts a DAT return code into human readable strings. The major_message is a string-converted DAT_TYPE_STA-
       TUS, while minor_message is a string-converted DAT_SUBTYPE_STATUS.  If the return of this  function  is	not  DAT_SUCCESS,  the	values	of
       major_message and minor_message are not defined.

       If an undefined DAT_RETURN value was passed as the return parameter, the operation fails with DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER returned. The operation
       succeeds when DAT_SUCCESS is passed in as the return parameter.

RETURN VALUES

       DAT_SUCCESS	       The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER   Invalid parameter. The return value is invalid.
