39 .Nd retrieve dynamic linker error messages
41 This function is not in a library.
42 It is included in every dynamically linked program automatically.
51 returns a null-terminated character string describing the last error that
52 occurred during a call to
60 If no such error has occurred,
62 returns a null pointer.
65 the error indication is reset.
66 Thus in the case of two calls
69 where the second call follows the first immediately, the second call
70 will always return a null pointer.
