int* brlapi_errno_location (void)

Get per-thread errno location

In multithreaded software, brlapi_errno is thread specific, so brlapi.h cheats about the brlapi_errno token and actually calls brlapi_errno_location()

This gets the thread specific location of global variable brlapi_errno

void brlapi_perror (const char * s)

Print a BrlAPI error message

brlapi_perror() reads brlapi_errno, and acts just like perror()

const char* brlapi_errlist[]

Error message list

These are the string constants used by brlapi_perror()

int brlapi_errno

Global variable brlapi_errno

brlapi_errno is a global left-value containing the last error code. It is not reset to BRLERR_SUCCESS on success.

const int brlapi_nerr

Number of error messages
