经常在调用linux 系统api 的时候会出现一些错误,比方说使用open() write() creat()之类的函数有些时候会返回-1,也就是调用失败,这个时候往往需要知道失败的原因。这个时候使用errno这个全局变量就相当有用了。
1 errno和strerror()函数
1.1 errno
在程序代码中包含 #include <errno.h>,然后每次程序调用失败的时候,系统会自动用用错误代码填充errno这个全局变量,这样你只需要读errno这个全局变量就可以获得失败原因了。
1.2 strerror()函数
头文件:<string.h>
函数原型:char * strerror(int
errnum);
将error编码errnum转换成错误消息,通过字符串返回。
1.3 perror()函数
头文件:<stdio.h>
函数原型:void perror(const char *
msg);
将错误消息输出到错误输出(stderr),并换行。如果msg为空指针或者指向字符串为空,则向错误输出打印errno对应的错误消息;如果msg不为空,则向错误输出打印msg的内容后再打印冒号、空格和errno对应的错误消息。
