DESCRIPTION
       The  ea_error()	function  returns  the	error value of the last failure recorded by the invocation of one of the functions of the extended
       accounting library, libexacct.

RETURN VALUES
       EXR_CORRUPT_FILE        A function failed because the file was not a valid exacct file.

       EXR_EOF		       A function detected the end of the file, either when reading forwards or backwards through the file.

       EXR_INVALID_BUF	       When unpacking an object, an invalid unpack buffer was specified.

       EXR_INVALID_OBJ	       The object type passed to the function is not valid for the requested operation, for example passing a group object
			       to ea_set_item(3EXACCT).

       EXR_NO_CREATOR	       When  creating  a  new  file no creator was specified, or when opening a file for reading the creator value did not
			       match the value in the file.
