I think there are times when I want to know the value of ERRNO when I build a program, or when I want to know the error message corresponding to the value, such as an error message of some command.
At times like that, I check with a simple shell script I made N years ago.
- I don't think about difficult things such as whether it works in any environment or whether all errno can be checked (just think about it when it doesn't work).
- For the time being, I moved in an environment where gcc is installed in Linux.
- It just grep the include file for C language.
errno.sh
The created errno.sh script is as follows.
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# -ne 1 || "$1" = "-h" || "$1" = "--help" ]]; then
echo "Usage: $(basename $0) { ERROR_NUMBER | ERROR_NAME }" >&2
exit 1
elif [[ ! ( "$1" =~ ^E[A-Z0-9]+$ || "$1" =~ ^[1-9][0-9]*$ ) ]]; then
echo "illegal argument." >&2
exit 1
elif ! find /usr/include -name 'errno*.h' -print0 |
xargs -0 -r grep -Eh \
-e "^\\s*#\\s*define\\s+E[A-Z0-9]+\\s+$1\\>" \
-e "^\\s*#\\s*define\\s+$1\\s+[1-9][0-9]*\\>" \
-e "^\\s*#\\s*define\\s+$1\\s+E[A-Z0-9]+\\>"
then
echo "errno not found($1)." >&2
exit 1
fi
