- ddlleerrrroorr returns 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 ddlleerrrroorr, ddlleerrrroorr returns NNUULLLL. Thus, invoking
- ddlleerrrroorr a second time, immediately following a prior invocation,
- results in NNUULLLL being returned.
-
- NNOOTTEESS
- The messages returned by ddlleerrrroorr might reside in a static buffer that
- is overwritten on each call to ddlleerrrroorr. Application code should not
- write to this buffer. To preserve an error message, a program should
- make its own copy of that message.
-
- The string to which the return value points must not be freed by the
- ffrreeee(3) command.
-
- The ddlleerrrroorr string space is not thread-safe (whether sspprroocc(2) threads
- with shared data, or POSIX-pthreads, or some other shared-data thread
- code). Multiple threads doing dynamic linking calls can step on each
- other's ddlleerrrroorr strings.
