Module Functions

sl_code_string

Prototype   : void db_io_code_string(int ret, char *mes)
Parameters  :
      Name  : ret
Description : valid socloc code

      Name  : mes
Description : output string

This function takes the input code ret, converts it to an English phrase and loads the phrase into mes which already must be allocated to sufficient size.

Socloc Codes

Almost all socloc functions return a code called a socloc code which is a zero or positive integer. socloc codes are defined in the header socloc.h. Notice that all socloc code definitions start with:

   SL_

Your application must check the return code of each socloc function call. If the result is not:

   SL_OK

you must take some action.
