NAME

     gai_strerror -- get error message string from EAI_xxx error code

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/socket.h>
     #include <netdb.h>

     const char *
     gai_strerror(int ecode);

DESCRIPTION

     The gai_strerror() function returns an error message string corresponding to the error code returned by getaddrinfo(3) or getnameinfo(3).

     The following error codes and their meaning are defined in <netdb.h>:

	   EAI_AGAIN	 temporary failure in name resolution
	   EAI_BADFLAGS  invalid value for ai_flags
	   EAI_BADHINTS  invalid value for hints
	   EAI_FAIL	 non-recoverable failure in name resolution
	   EAI_FAMILY	 ai_family not supported
	   EAI_MEMORY	 memory allocation failure
	   EAI_NONAME	 hostname or servname not provided, or not known
	   EAI_OVERFLOW  argument buffer overflow
	   EAI_PROTOCOL  resolved protocol is unknown
	   EAI_SERVICE	 servname not supported for ai_socktype
	   EAI_SOCKTYPE  ai_socktype not supported
	   EAI_SYSTEM	 system error returned in errno

RETURN VALUES

     The gai_strerror() function returns a pointer to the error message string corresponding to ecode.	If ecode is out of range, an implementa-
     tion-specific error message string is returned.

       EAI_BADFLAGS
	      invalid value for ai_flags

       EAI_FAIL
	      non-recoverable failure in name resolution

       EAI_FAMILY
	      ai_family not supported

       EAI_MEMORY
	      memory allocation failure

       EAI_NODATA
	      no address associated with hostname

       EAI_NONAME
	      hostname or servname not provided, or not known

       EAI_SERVICE
	      servname not supported for ai_socktype

       EAI_SOCKTYPE
	      ai_socktype not supported

       EAI_SYSTEM
