SYS-WERRSTR 2
NAME
werrstr - set the system error string
SYNOPSIS
.EX
include "sys.m";
sys := load Sys Sys->PATH;
werrstr(s: string): int;
DESCRIPTION
When a system call fails, it returns an error value (often -1)
and records a string describing the error in a per-process location.
The verb
r in
sys-print (2) outputs the error string.
Werrstr sets the process's error string to
s , to allow a function in a module to mimic the error reporting
interface of a system call.
