REMCTL_ERROR(3) 					     remctl Library Reference						   REMCTL_ERROR(3)

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.
