Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library for AIX Version 3 Release 3: Guide and Reference

ERRSTR--ESSL ERRSTR Subroutine for ESSL

The ERRSTR subroutine stores an entry in the ESSL error option table.

For multithreaded application programs, if you want the error handling capabilities that this subroutine provides to be implemented on each thread created by your program, this subroutine must be called from each thread. If your application creates multiple threads, the action performed by a call to this subroutine applies to the thread that this subroutine was invoked from. For an example, see Example of Handling Errors in a Multithreaded Application Program.
