NAME

nis_error, nis_sperrno, nis_perror, nis_lerror, nis_sperror − display NIS+ error messages

SYNOPSIS

#include <rpcsvc/nis.h>

char ∗nis_sperrno(const nis_error status);

void nis_perror(const nis_error status, const char ∗label);

void nis_lerror(const nis_error status, const char ∗label);

char ∗nis_sperror(const nis_error status, const char ∗label);

DESCRIPTION

These functions convert NIS+ status values into text strings. 

nis_sperrno() simply returns a pointer to a string constant which is the error string. 

nis_perror() prints the error message “label: error message” on the standard error. 

nis_lerror() sends the error text to syslog(3). 

The last function nis_sperror() simply returns a pointer to a statically allocated string that can be used or copied using the strdup() function, see string(3C).
