NAME

       elf_errmsg - return the error message string for a given libelf error code.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libelf.h>

       const char *elf_errmsg(int err);

DESCRIPTION

       The elf_errmsg function retrieves a human-readable string corresponding to the most recent error code set
       by  a  libelf  library  function. If err is 0, the function returns the error message for the most recent
       error code. If err is non-zero, the function returns the error message for the specified error code.

PARAMETERS

       err    An int value specifying the error code. If this value is 0, the function returns the error message
              for the most recent error or NULL if none occurred. If this value is -1, the behaviour is  similar
              to the previous case except that a legal string will be returned instead of NULL.

RETURN VALUE

       The elf_errmsg function returns a string containing the error message. If there is no corresponding error
       message, it returns NULL.
