Home#include <lua/errno.lh>
- text, errno = handle:lastError()
- handle:clearError()
- handle:setError(errno)
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
When any of the other functions working on a file handle indicates an error condition, the error is stored inside the handle and can be retrieved by calling rawio:lastError().
When the error has been handled by the application, it can be cleared by calling rawio:clearError().
To manually simulate an error condition, pass a numeric errno code to rawio:setError().
RETURN VALUE
If an error has been stored, returns two values: a string describing the error and an error code.
If the error code is a positive number, it is an errno code from the standard C library. The descriptive string that is returned is the result of calling the C standard function strerror() with that code.
If the error code is a negative number, it is an error reported by the PolarSSL library. The descriptive string in that case is also retrieved from PolarSSL.
If no error has been stored, returns nil.
NOTES
Some functions (e.g. rawio:read()) indicate an end-of-file condition by returning an error
indicator. Calling rawio:lastError() will return nil, too, in that case,
indicating no error.
