strerror()

Prototype: char *strerror(int errnum);
Header File: string.h (C) or cstring (C++)
Explanation: Strerror returns a pointer to a string that contains the identification for an error-number. This is usually used with a function that returns an error number based on the result of an operation. It is a very bad idea to start modifying the string it returns.

//Example prints out error number 2

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<strerror(2);  
}
