The dce_error_inq_text() routine may be used by RPC applications
to return message text corresponding to a status value. Because
this routine is not specifically RPC-related, it is specified in this
appendix rather than as part of
Please note that the html version of this specification may contain formatting aberrations. The definitive version is available as an electronic publication on CD-ROM from The Open Group.
dce_error_inq_text- returns the message text associated with a status code
#include <dce/rpc.h>
#include <dce/dce_error.h>
void dce_error_inq_text(
error_status_t status_to_convert,
dce_error_string_t *error_text,
int *status);
Input
- status_to_convert
- Specifies the status code for which message text is to be retrieved.
Output
- error_text
- Returns the message text associated with status_to_convert.
- status
- Returns the status code from this operation. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the operation completed successfully. A value of -1 indicates that it failed.
The dce_error_inq_text() routine retrieves message text associated with a status code returned by a routine.All message texts are assigned a unique 32-bit message ID. The special value of all-bits-zero is reserved to indicate success. The dce_error_inq_text() routine uses the message ID as a series of indices; the string found and returned explains the associated status code.
The application must provide memory for the returned message. The largest returned message is dce_c_error_string_len characters long, including the terminating NULL character.
If the call fails, this routine returns a message as well as a failure code in the status argument.
None.
