<h3 class="section">4.44 <code>perror</code>&mdash;print an error message on standard error</h3>
<a name="index-perror"></a>
<a name="index-_005fperror_005fr"></a>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
void perror(char *<var>prefix</var>);
void _perror_r(struct _reent *<var>reent</var>, char *<var>prefix</var>);
</pre></div>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Use <code>perror</code> to print (on standard error) an error message
corresponding to the current value of the global variable <code>errno</code>.
Unless you use <code>NULL</code> as the value of the argument <var>prefix</var>, the
error message will begin with the string at <var>prefix</var>, followed by a
colon and a space (<code>: </code>). The remainder of the error message is one
of the strings described for <code>strerror</code>.
</p>
<p>The alternate function <code>_perror_r</code> is a reentrant version. The
extra argument <var>reent</var> is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>perror</code> returns no result.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
ANSI C requires <code>perror</code>, but the strings issued vary from one
implementation to another.
</p>
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
