(转)linux下错误的捕获:errno和strerror的使用,以及perror和strerror的区别

经常在调用linux 系统api 的时候会出现一些错误,比方说使用open() write() creat()之类的函数有些时候会返回-1,也就是调用失败,这个时候往往需要知道失败的原因。这个时候使用errno这个全局变量就相当有用了。

在程序代码中包含 #include <errno.h>,然后每次程序调用失败的时候,系统会自动用用错误代码填充errno这个全局变量,这样你只需要读errno这个全局变量就可以获得失败原因了。

例如:

 1 #include <stdio.h>
 2 #include <string.h>
 3 #include <errno.h>
 4 int main(void)
 5 {
 6     int fd;
 7     extern int errno;
 8 
 9     if((fd = open("/dev/dsp",O_WRONLY)) < 0) {
10        printf("errno=%d\n",errno);
11     }
12   
13   exit(0);
14 }

 


如果dsp设备忙的话errno值将是16。

errno.h中定义的错误代码值如下:
查看错误代码errno是调试程序的一个重要方法。当linux C api函数发生异常时,一般会将errno变量(需include errno.h)赋一个整数值,不同的值表示不同的含义,可以通过查看该值推测出错的原因。在实际编程中用这一招解决了不少原本看来莫名其妙的问题。比较 麻烦的是每次都要去linux源代码里面查找错误代码的含义,现在把它贴出来,以后需要查时就来这里看了。

同时也可以使用strerror()来自己翻译
如:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(void)
{
  int fd;
  extern int errno;

  if((fd = open("/dev/dsp",O_WRONLY)) < 0) {
    printf(
"errno=%d\n",errno);
    char * mesg = strerror(errno);
    printf(
"Mesg:%s\n",mesg);
  }   exit(
0); }

 


dsp设备忙的话将输出如下:
errno=16
Mesg:Device or resource busy

-----------------perror和sterror的区别-----------------

perror() 和 strerror() 以一种直观的方式打印出错误信息,对于调试程序和编写优秀的程序非常有用。

下面是perror() 与 strerror() 的使用范例及区别:

perror()原型:

#include <stdio.h>
void perror(const char *s);

其中,perror()的参数s 是用户提供的字符串。当调用perror()时,它输出这个字符串,后面跟着一个冒号和空格,然后是基于当前errno的值进行的错误类型描述(也就是刚刚内核代码宏定义里面的那一长串字符)。

strerror()原型:

#include <string.h>
char * strerror(int errnum);

这个函数将errno的值作为参数,并返回一个描述错误的字符串。

 1     /*rename.c*/  
 2       
 3     #include<stdio.h>  
 4     #include <string.h>  
 5     #include <errno.h>  
 6       
 7     int main(int argc,char **argv)  
 8     {  
 9         char path[]="./first.c";  
10         char newpath[] = "./second.c";  
11         char newpathnot[] = "./gong/suo.c";  
12         extern int errno;  
13       
14         if( rename(path,newpathnot) == 0)  
15         {  
16             printf("the file %s was moved to %s.",path,newpathnot);  
17         }  
18         else  
19         {  
20             printf("Can't move the file %s.\n",path);  
21             printf("errno:%d\n",errno);  
22             printf("ERR:%s\n",strerror(errno));  
23             perror("Err");  
24         }  
25       
26         if(rename(path,newpath) == 0)  
27             printf("the file %s was moved to %s.\n",path,newpath);  
28         else  
29         {  
30             printf("Can't move the file %s.\n",path);  
31             printf("errno:%d\n",errno);  
32             printf("ERR:%s\n",strerror(errno));  
33         }  
34       
35         return 0;  
36     }  
37       
38       
39     gcc rename.c -o rename  
40     ./rename  
41       
42     Can't move the file ./first.c.  
43     errno:2  
44     ERR:No such file or directory  
45     Err: No such file or directory  
46     the file ./first.c was moved to ./second.c  

 

strerror()方法与perror()的用法十分相似。
  先谈谈perror()的用法,这个方法用于将上一条语句(方法)执行后的错误打印到标准输出上。一般情况下(没有使用重定向的话),就是输出到控制台上。
  但是,如果我需要了解另外一个进程的某一个方法执行的错误,或者更briefly,我就希望将错误打印到一个文件里面,perror()就不太合适了!
  为了实现我刚刚说到的要求,我们首先要将错误放到一个字符串里面。这个时候,strerror()就合适了!

strerror(errno)
  首先,系统会根据上一条语句的执行错误情况,将errno赋值.。关于这点,我们首先明白两点。第一,errno是一个系统变量,是不需要我们赋值或者声明的。第二,errno是一个int类型的变量,而且其中的值对应一种特定错误类型
  然后,关于strerror()本身,可以这么理解。顾名思义,strerror=string+error,就是将errno值翻译成描述错误类型的string语句!

  从上面的结果可以看出,perror(s),实际上是会输出s: strerror(errno)这样的形式,其中strerror(errno)表示errno对应的错误字符串。
