DLERROR(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual DLERROR(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
dlerror — get diagnostic information
#include <dlfcn.h>
char *dlerror(void);
The dlerror() function shall return a null-terminated character
string (with no trailing <newline>) that describes the last error
that occurred during dynamic linking processing. If no dynamic
linking errors have occurred since the last invocation of dlerror(),
dlerror() shall return NULL. Thus, invoking dlerror() a second time,
immediately following a prior invocation, shall result in NULL being
returned.
It is implementation-defined whether or not the dlerror() function is
thread-safe. A thread-safe implementation shall return only errors
that occur on the current thread.
If successful, dlerror() shall return a null-terminated character
string; otherwise, NULL shall be returned.
The application shall not modify the string returned. The returned
pointer might be invalidated or the string content might be
overwritten by a subsequent call to dlerror() in the same thread (if
dlerror() is thread-safe) or in any thread (if dlerror() is not
thread-safe).
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
The following example prints out the last dynamic linking error:
...
#include <dlfcn.h>
char *errstr;
errstr = dlerror();
if (errstr != NULL)
printf ("A dynamic linking error occurred: (%s)\n", errstr);
...
Depending on the application environment with respect to asynchronous
execution events, such as signals or other asynchronous computation
sharing the address space, conforming applications should use a
critical section to retrieve the error pointer and buffer.
None.
None.
