.RE
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIcode\fP -- the error code to interpret
.RE
.PP
\fBReturn values:\fP
.RS 4
\fI*error\fP -- a pointer to the error string\&. 
.br
\fINULL\fP -- the input error code to \fBPAPI_strerror()\fP is invalid\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBPAPI_strerror()\fP returns a pointer to the error message corresponding to the error code code\&. If the call fails the function returns the NULL pointer\&. This function is not implemented in Fortran\&.

\fBExample:\fP
.RS 4

.PP
.nf
*  int ret;
*  int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
*  int native = 0x0;
*  char error_str[PAPI_MAX_STR_LEN];

*  ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
*  if (ret != PAPI_OK)
*  {
*     fprintf(stderr, "PAPI error %d: %s\n", ret, PAPI_strerror(retval));
*     exit(1);
*  }
*  // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
*  ret = PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS);
*  if (ret != PAPI_OK)
