ipq_errstr, ipq_perror \(em libipq error handling routines #include <linux/netfilter.h>

#include <libipq.h> "char *ipq_errstr(" void );

"void ipq_perror(const char *" s );

The ipq_errstr function returns a descriptive error message based on the current value of the internal ipq_errno variable. All libipq API functions set this internal variable upon failure.

The ipq_perror function prints an error message to stderr corresponding to the current value of the internal ipq_error variable, and the global errno variable (if set). The error message is prefixed with the string s as supplied by the application. If s is NULL, the error message is prefixed with the string "ERROR".

ipq_errstr returns an error message as outlined above. None known. James Morris <jmorris@intercode.com.au> Copyright (c) 2000-2001 Netfilter Core Team.
