ustrerror(3)                    Allegro manual                    ustrerror(3)

NAME
       ustrerror - Returns a string describing errno. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       const char *ustrerror(int err);

DESCRIPTION
       This function returns a string that describes the error code `err',
       which normally comes from the variable `errno'. Example:

          PACKFILE *input_file = pack_fopen("badname", "r");
          if (input_file == NULL)
             allegro_message("%s\nSorry!\n", ustrerror(errno));

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a pointer to a static string that should not be modified or
       freed. If you make subsequent calls to ustrerror(), the string will be
       overwritten.
