NAME

       af_errno, af_perror, af_errmsg, af_cleanup - AtFS error handling

SYNOPSIS

       #include <atfs.h>

       int  af_errno

       void af_perror (char *string)

       char*af_errmsg (char *string)

       int  af_cleanup (void)

DESCRIPTION

       af_errno is the global AtFS error number variable. If an AtFS functions
       returns with an error, af_errno is  set  to  indicate  the  appropriate
       error number. It is not cleared upon successful calls.  The af_intro(3)
       manual page gives an overview of all error codes.

       af_perror produces a short error  message  of  the  form  described  in
       perror(3). This message will be written to standard error.  If the last
       error encountered during  an  AtFS  application  was  an  AtFS-specific
       error,  a corresponding message is generated, otherwise af_perror calls
       perror(3).

       af_errmsg does the same as af_perror but  returns  the  message  rather
       than  writing  to  standard  error. The result string resides in static
       memory and hence will be overwritten on subsequent calls of  af_errmsg.

       Af_cleanup  serves  as cleanup routine upon premature termination of an
       AtFS application. It removes temporary files and  frees  all  allocated
       memory.
