| 17 // never be used. Doing so can cause crashes. Additionally, the thread-safe | |

| 19 // functions instead. | |

| 21 // Thread-safe strerror function with dependable semantics that never fails. | |
| 22 // It will write the string form of error "err" to buffer buf of length len. | |
| 23 // If there is an error calling the OS's strerror_r() function then a message to | |
| 24 // that effect will be printed into buf, truncating if necessary. The final | |
| 25 // result is always null-terminated. The value of errno is never changed. | |
