NAME
       dlpi_strerror - get DLPI error message

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldlpi [ library... ]
       #include <libdlpi.h>

       const char *dlpi_strerror(int err);

DESCRIPTION
       The dlpi_strerror() function maps the error code in err into an error message string and returns a pointer to that string.

       If  err is DL_SYSERR, a string that describes the current value of errno is returned. Otherwise, if err corresponds to an error code listed
       in <libdlpi.h> or <sys/dlpi.h>, a string which describes that error is returned.

       The string is not dynamically allocated and must not be freed by the caller.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon success, the function returns a pointer to the error message string. If the error code is unknown, the string "Unknown DLPI error"	is
       returned.
