const char *explain_adjtimex(struct timex *data);
const char *explain_errno_adjtimex(int errnum, struct timex *data);

These functions may be used to obtain explanations for errors returned by the adjtimex(2) system call.
const char *explain_adjtimex(struct timex *data);
The explain_adjtimex function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the adjtimex(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.
The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded.
Note: This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library.
Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
{
exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }
The above code example is available pre‐packaged as the explain_adjtimex_or_die(3) function.
const char *explain_errno_adjtimex(int errnum, struct timex *data);
The explain_errno_adjtimex function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the adjtimex(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.
Note: This function is not thread safe, because it shares a return buffer across all threads, and many other functions in this library.
Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
{
int err = errno;
exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }
The above code example is available pre‐packaged as the explain_adjtimex_or_die(3) function.
void explain_message_adjtimex(char *message, int message_size, struct timex *data);
The explain_message_adjtimex function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the adjtimex(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.
The errno global variable will be used to obtain the error value to be decoded.
Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
{explain_message_adjtimex(message, sizeof(message), data);
char message[3000];
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", message);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }
The above code example is available pre‐packaged as the explain_adjtimex_or_die(3) function.
void explain_message_errno_adjtimex(char *message, int message_size, int errnum, struct timex *data);
The explain_message_errno_adjtimex function is used to obtain an explanation of an error returned by the adjtimex(2) system call. The least the message will contain is the value of strerror(errno), but usually it will do much better, and indicate the underlying cause in more detail.
Example: This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
{explain_message_errno_adjtimex(message, sizeof(message), err, data);
int err = errno;
