which is used to pass an error code from IPsec policy manipulation library
to a user program.
The
ipsec_strerror ();
function can be used to obtain the error message string for the error code.
The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program.
Since
ipsec_strerror ();
uses
strerror(3)
as an underlying function, calling
strerror(3)
after
ipsec_strerror ();
would overwrite the the return value from
ipsec_strerror ();
and make it invalid.
RETURN VALUES
The
ipsec_strerror ();
function always returns a pointer to C string.
The C string must not be overwritten by the caller.

ipsec_set_policy3
HISTORY
The
ipsec_strerror ();
function first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
BUGS
The
ipsec_strerror ();
function will return its result which may be overwritten by subsequent calls.
