oath_strerror_name - API function

#include <oath.h>

const char * oath_strerror_name(int err);

liboath error code

Convert return code to human readable string representing the error code symbol itself. For example, oath_strerror_name(OATH_OK) returns the string "OATH_OK".

This string can be used to output a diagnostic message to the user.

This function is one of few in the library that can be used without a successful call to oath_init().

Returns a pointer to a statically allocated string containing a string version of the error code err, or NULL if the error code is not known.
