// This file declares safe, portable alternatives to the POSIX strerror()
// function. strerror() is inherently unsafe in multi-threaded apps and should
// never be used. Doing so can cause crashes. Additionally, the thread-safe
// alternative strerror_r varies in semantics across platforms. Use these
// functions instead.

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

// allocate a string.
