Linux 环境编程：errno的基本用法

背景

error是一个包含在<errno.h>中的预定义的外部int变量，用于表示最近一个函数调用是否产生了错误。若为0，则无错误，其它值均表示一类错误。

errno只在函数返回错误时才有意义，当函数执行正常返回时并不会重置errno，因此此时的errno是不能作为错误处理的。所以在有些时候需要清理error。

perror()和strerrot()函数可以把errno的值转化为有意义的字符输出。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void){

    opendir("/tmp/no_exist");
    //用法1：直接读取errno的值
    printf("errno = %d\n", errno);

    //用法2：使用perror函数，把error的值转化为有意义的字符提示。
    if(errno != 0){
        perror("opendir: ");
        // exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    // 补充一个可以 格式化打印的
    fprintf(stderr, "[%s] %s\n", "opendir", strerror(errno)); 

    //用法3：类似用法2，但使用strerror函数。
    if(errno != 0){
        printf("%s\n", strerror(errno));
        exit(0);
    }

    exit(0);
}

输出结果为：

errno = 2
 opendir: : No such file or directory
 No such file or directory

以下程序用于显示所有的错误代码含义

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void){

    for(int i = 0; i < 140; i++){
        printf("%4d:%s\n", i, strerror(i));
    }

    return 0;
}

输出结果如下：
