_get_errno
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at _get_errno.
Gets the current value of the errno global variable.
Syntax
errno_t _get_errno(
int * pValue
);
Parameters
[out] pValue
A pointer to an integer to be filled with the current value of the errno variable.
Return Value
Returns zero if successful; an error code on failure. If pValue is NULL, the invalid parameter handler is invoked as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function sets errno to EINVAL and returns EINVAL.
Remarks
Possible values of errno are defined in Errno.h. Also, see errno Constants.
Example
// crt_get_errno.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <share.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main()
{
errno_t err;
int pfh;
_sopen_s( &pfh, "nonexistent.file", _O_WRONLY, _SH_DENYNO, _S_IWRITE );
_get_errno( &err );
printf( "errno = %d\n", err );
printf( "fyi, ENOENT = %d\n", ENOENT );
}
errno = 2
fyi, ENOENT = 2
