NAME
libpconn – library for communicating with PalmOS devices
SYNOPSIS
#include <palm.h>
#include <pconn/pconn.h>
Function prototypes are given in their respective man pages.
If
libpconn was built with I18N support, you may need to link with -lintl
DESCRIPTION
The libpconn library provides functions for communicating with PalmOS devices. It supports serial, USB (under FreeBSD), and TCP connections, though the latter are still greatly experimental.
VARIABLES
libpconn defines the following variables:
- int palm_errno
-
Very similar to errno, int palm_errno is set whenever an error occurs in a libpconn function. The value indicates the error. Possible values are the PALMERR_* values defined in <pconn/palm_errno.h>.
- const char *palm_errlist[]
-
An array of strings giving error messages corresponding to the PALMERR_* values.
- const int palm_numerrs
-
The number of entries in palm_errlist.
