IPSEC_STRERROR(3) BSD Library Functions Manual IPSEC_STRERROR(3)NAME
ipsec_strerror -- error messages for the IPsec policy manipulation library
SYNOPSIS
#include <netipsec/ipsec.h>
const char *
ipsec_strerror();
DESCRIPTION
<netipsec/ipsec.h> declares
extern int ipsec_errcode;
which is used to pass an error code from IPsec policy manipulation library to a user program. The ipsec_strerror() function can be used to
obtain the error message string for the error code.
The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program. Since ipsec_strerror() uses strerror(3) as an underlying function, calling
strerror(3) after ipsec_strerror() would overwrite the return value from ipsec_strerror() and make it invalid.
RETURN VALUES
The ipsec_strerror() function always returns a pointer to C string. The C string must not be overwritten by the caller.
SEE ALSO ipsec_set_policy(3)HISTORY
The ipsec_strerror() function first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
BUGS
The ipsec_strerror() function will return its result which may be overwritten by subsequent calls.
ipsec_errcode is not thread safe.

Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
