gai_strerror Function

The gai_strerror function assists in printing error messages based on the EAI_* errors returned by the getaddrinfo function. Note that the gai_strerror function is not thread safe, and therefore, use of traditional Windows Sockets functions such as the WSAGetLastError function is recommended.

Syntax

char* gai_strerror(
  __in  int ecode
);

Parameter

• ecode [in]
  Error code from the list of available getaddrinfo error codes. For a complete listing of error codes, see the getaddrinfo function.

Hinweise

If the ecode parameter is not an error code value that getaddrinfo returns, the gai_strerror function returns a pointer to a string that indicates an unknown error.
