SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
#include <dat/udat.h>

DAT_RETURN
dat_strerror(
IN DAT_RETURN return,
OUT const char **major_message,
OUT const char **minor_message
)

PARAMETERS

return
DAT function return value.


message
A pointer to a character string for the return.

DESCRIPTION

The dat_strerror() function converts a DAT return code into human
readable strings. The major_message is a string-converted
DAT_TYPE_STATUS, while minor_message is a string-converted
DAT_SUBTYPE_STATUS. If the return of this function is not
DAT_SUCCESS, the values of major_message and minor_message are not
defined.


If an undefined DAT_RETURN value was passed as the return parameter,
the operation fails with DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER returned. The
operation succeeds when DAT_SUCCESS is passed in as the return
parameter.

RETURN VALUES

DAT_SUCCESS
The operation was successful.


DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER
Invalid parameter. The return value is
invalid.
