linux系统编程之错误处理

在linux系统编程中，当系统调用出现错误时，有一个整型变量会被设置，这个整型变量就是errno，这个变量的定义在/usr/include/errno.h文件中

#ifndef    _ERRNO_H

/* The includer defined __need_Emath if he wants only the definitions
   of EDOM and ERANGE, and not everything else.  */
#ifndef    __need_Emath
# define _ERRNO_H    1
# include <features.h>
#endif

__BEGIN_DECLS

/* Get the error number constants from the system-specific file.
   This file will test __need_Emath and _ERRNO_H.  */
#include <bits/errno.h>
#undef    __need_Emath

#ifdef    _ERRNO_H

/* Declare the `errno' variable, unless it's defined as a macro by
   bits/errno.h.  This is the case in GNU, where it is a per-thread
   variable.  This redeclaration using the macro still works, but it
   will be a function declaration without a prototype and may trigger
   a -Wstrict-prototypes warning.  */
#ifndef    errno
extern int errno;
#endif

#ifdef __USE_GNU

/* The full and simple forms of the name with which the program was
   invoked.  These variables are set up automatically at startup based on
   the value of ARGV[0] (this works only if you use GNU ld).  */
extern char *program_invocation_name, *program_invocation_short_name;
#endif /* __USE_GNU */
#endif /* _ERRNO_H */

__END_DECLS

#endif /* _ERRNO_H */

/* The Hurd <bits/errno.h> defines `error_t' as an enumerated type so
   that printing `error_t' values in the debugger shows the names.  We
   might need this definition sometimes even if this file was included
   before.  */
#if defined __USE_GNU || defined __need_error_t
# ifndef __error_t_defined
typedef int error_t;
#  define __error_t_defined    1
# endif
# undef __need_error_t
#endif

当系统调用出现无错误时，这个整型变量便会被设置成一个值，每个值有一个特殊的含义，每一值用一个宏来表示，/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h文件中定义

解释完了errno的含义，那么我们来用两个常用的错误输出函数

一个是perror

void perror(const char *s);//根据系统设置好的errno的值来输出错误信息
                          //错误信息会包含程序员自己填写的内容，以参数s传入程序员想要输出的内容

一个是strerror

char *strerror(int errnum);//把errno传入到函数strerror中，strerror返回相应错误信息的文本
