当linux中的C api函数发生异常时,一般会将errno变量(需includeerrno.h)赋一个整数值,不同的值表示不同的含义,可以通过查看该值推测出错的原因,在实际编程中用这一招解决了不少原本看来莫名其妙的问题。但是errno是一个数字,代表的具体含义还要到errno.h中去阅读宏定义,而每次查阅是一件很繁琐的事情。有下面几种方法可以方便的得到错误信息
(1)void perror(const char *s)
函数说明
perror ( )用来将上一个函数发生错误的原因输出到标准错误(stderr),参数s 所指的字符串会先打印出,后面再加上错误原因 字符串。此错误原因依照全局变量 errno 的值来决定要输出的字符串。
(2) char *strerror(int errno)
将错误代码转换为字符串错误信息,可以将该字符串和其它的信息组合输出到用户界面例如
fprintf(stderr,"error in CreateProcess %s,Process ID %d ",strerror(errno),processID)
注:假设processID是一个已经获取了的整形ID
(3)printf("%m", errno);
另外不是所有的地方发生错误的时候都可以通过error获取错误代码
errno.h中定义的错误代码值如下:
linux2.4.20-18的内核代码中的/usr/include/asm/errno.h

补充说明:
同时也可以使用strerror()来自己翻译
下面给出两个例子:
例一:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> int main(void) { int fd; extern int errno; if((fd = open("/dev/dsp",O_WRONLY)) < 0) { printf("errno=%d\n",errno); char * mesg = strerror(errno); printf("Mesg:%s\n",mesg); } exit(0); }
dsp设备忙的话将输出如下:
errno=16
Mesg:Device or resource busy
例二:
#include <string.h> #include <errno.h> /* for strerror */ #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char ** argv) { int i = 0; for(i = 0; i < 256; i++) printf("errno.%02d is: %s/n", i, strerror(i)); return 0; }
