NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     alGetErrorString -	get a string corresponding to an Audio Library error
     code

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <dmedia/audio.h>

     char *alGetErrorString(int	error)

PARAMETER    [Toc]    [Back]

     error	 expects an error code as set by any Audio Library function.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The Audio Library defines a set of	error codes whose numeric tokens begin
     with the prefix "AL_BAD_".	 Typically these are retrieved by calling
     oserror() after an	AL function returns a failure code; see	the manual
     page for each individual function to see what its error behavior is.

     alGetErrorString(3dm) returns a character string indicating the meaning
     of	the given error	value, error.

EXAMPLE    [Toc]    [Back]

	  #include <dmedia/audio.h>
	  ALport p;

	  p = alOpenPort("exampleOutput", "w", 0);
	  if (!p) {
	       printf("openport	failed:	%s\n",	alGetErrorString(oserror()));
	       exit(-1);
	  }
