From 59345b1f0f9941d32b45d0e27401355b34106357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Przemyslaw Marczak Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2014 22:48:37 +0200 Subject: lib: errno: introduce errno_str(): returns errno related message The functions error's numbers are standarized - but the error messages are not. The errors are often handled with unclear error messages, so why not use an errno standarized messages. Advantages: - This could decrease the binary size. - Appended with a detailed information, the error message will be clear. This commit introduces new function: - const char *errno_to_str(int errno) The functions returns a pointer to the errno corresponding text message: - if errno is null or positive number - a pointer to "Success" message - if errno is negative - a pointer to errno related message Signed-off-by: Przemyslaw Marczak Reviewed-by: Tom Rini --- include/errno.h | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/errno.h b/include/errno.h index e24a33b..14ac3cb 100644 --- a/include/errno.h +++ b/include/errno.h @@ -6,4 +6,7 @@ extern int errno; #define __set_errno(val) do { errno = val; } while (0) +#ifdef CONFIG_ERRNO_STR +const char *errno_str(int errno); +#endif #endif /* _ERRNO_H */ -- cgit v1.1
