97functions
98operate exactly as the corresponding functions that do not start with an
99.Sq e
100except that in case of an error, they call
101the installed error handler that can be configured with
102.Fn esetfunc .
103.Pp
104For the string handling functions, it is an error when the destination
105buffer is not large enough to hold the complete string.
106For functions that allocate memory or open a file, it is an error when
107they would return a null pointer.
108The default error handler is
109.Xr err 3 .
110The function
111.Fn esetfunc
112returns the previous error handler function.
113A
114.Dv NULL
115error handler will just call
116.Xr exit 3 .
