     cc [ flag... ] file... -ldlpi [ library... ]
     #include 

     const char *dlpi_strerror(int err);


DESCRIPTION
     The dlpi_strerror() function maps the error code in err into
     an  error  message  string  and  returns  a  pointer to that
     string.


     If err is DL_SYSERR, a string  that  describes  the  current
     value of errno is returned. Otherwise, if err corresponds to
     an error code  listed  in    or  ,  a
     string which describes that error is returned.


     The string is not dynamically  allocated  and  must  not  be
     freed by the caller.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon success, the function returns a pointer  to  the  error
     message  string.  If  the  error code is unknown, the string
     "Unknown DLPI error" is returned.
