.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pa netinet6/ipsec.h
|
|
declares
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl extern int ipsec_errcode;
|
|
.Pp
|
|
which is used to pass an error code from IPsec policy manipulation library
|
|
to an user program.
|
|
.Fn ipsec_strerror
|
|
can be used to obtain the error message string for the error code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program.
|
|
Since
|
|
.Fn ipsec_strerror
|
|
uses
|
|
.Xr strerror 3
|
|
as underlying function, calling
|
|
.Xr strerror 3
|
|
after
|
|
.Fn ipsec_strerror
|
|
would make the return value from
|
|
.Fn ipsec_strerror
|
|
invalid, or overwritten.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn ipsec_strerror
|
|
always return a pointer to C string.
|
|
The C string must not be overwritten by user programs.
