NAME
     ea_error - error interface to extended accounting library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lexacct [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int ea_error(void);


DESCRIPTION
     The ea_error() function returns the error value of the  last
     failure  recorded  by the invocation of one of the functions
     of the extended accounting library, libexacct.

RETURN VALUES
     EXR_CORRUPT_FILE    A function failed because the  file  was
                         not a valid exacct file.


     EXR_EOF             A function detected the end of the file,
                         either  when  reading  forwards or back-
                         wards through the file.


     EXR_INVALID_BUF     When unpacking  an  object,  an  invalid
                         unpack buffer was specified.


     EXR_INVALID_OBJ     The object type passed to  the  function
                         is  not  valid  for the requested opera-
                         tion, for example passing a group object
                         to ea_set_item(3EXACCT).


     EXR_NO_CREATOR      When creating a new file no creator  was
                         specified,  or  when  opening a file for
                         reading the creator value did not  match
                         the value in the file.


     EXR_NOTSUPP         An  unsupported  type  of   access   was
                         attempted,  for  example  attempting  to
                         write to a file that  was  opened  read-
                         only.


     EXR_OK              The function completed successfully.

     EXR_SYSCALL_FAIL    A system call invoked  by  the  function

                         exacct  file version that cannot be pro-
                         cessed by this library.
