t_strerror(3NSL)				       Networking Services Library Functions					  t_strerror(3NSL)

NAME
       t_strerror - produce an error message string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <xti.h>

       const char *t_strerror(int errnum);

DESCRIPTION
       This  routine is part of the XTI interfaces which evolved from the TLI interfaces. XTI represents the future evolution of these interfaces.
       However, TLI interfaces are supported for compatibility. When using a TLI routine that has the same name as an XTI routine,  the   tiuser.h
       header file must be used.  Refer to the	TLI COMPATIBILITY section for a description of differences between the two interfaces.

       The t_strerror() function maps the error number in errnum that corresponds to an XTI error to a language-dependent error message string and
       returns a pointer to the string. The string pointed to will not be modified by the program, but may be overwritten by a subsequent call	to
       the  t_strerror	function.  The	string	is not terminated by a newline character. The language for error message strings written by t_str-
       error() is that of the current locale. If it is English, the error message string describing the value in t_errno may be derived  from  the
       comments following the t_errno codes defined in <xti.h>. If an error code is unknown, and the language is English, t_strerror() returns the
       string:

       "<error>: error unknown"

       where <error> is the error number supplied as input.  In other languages, an equivalent text is provided.

VALID STATES
       ALL - apart from T_UNINIT.

RETURN VALUES
       The function t_strerror() returns a pointer to the generated message string.

TLI COMPATIBILITY
       The XTI and TLI interface definitions have common names but use different header files. This, and other semantic  differences  between  the
       two interfaces are described in the subsections below.

   Interface Header
       The XTI interfaces use the header file, xti.h. TLI interfaces should not use this header.  They should use the header:

		 #include <tiuser.h>
