Error numbers
Each of the macros defined in
<errno.h>
expands to an integer constant expression with type
int
and with a unique positive value. The following constants are defined by ISO C. The implementation may define more, as long as they begin with
'E'
followed by digits or uppercase letters.
Defined in header

EDOM
|
Mathematics argument out of domain of function
(macro constant) |
EILSEQ
(C95)
|
Illegal byte sequence
(macro constant) |
ERANGE
|
Result too large
(macro constant) |
Notes
Many additional errno constants are
defined by POSIX
and by the
C++ standard library
, and individual implementations may define even more, e.g.
errno(3)
on Linux or
intro(2)
on BSD and OS X.
Example
Possible output:
log(-1.0) = nan Numerical argument out of domain log(0.0) = -inf Numerical result out of range
