Detailed Description

Describes the HSE API return code type and associated utilities.

enum hse_err_ctx

Enumerator	Value	Description
HSE_ERR_CTX_NONE		No context
HSE_ERR_CTX_TXN_EXPIRED		Transaction timed out

Error context values.

typedef hse_err_t

hse_err_t;

Generic return type for the HSE library.

If this scalar quantity is 0 then the call succeeded. If it is non-zero, then the 64-bit quantity can be used by the client in two ways: (1) call hse_err_to_errno() to get a mapping to a POSIX errno value, and (2) call hse_strerror() to get a textual reference about what error occurred and where.

The following special errno error codes are worth mentioning here.

errno	Caller action
EAGAIN	The caller is expected to retry the operation.
ECANCELED	The caller is expected to retry the operation in a new transaction. See [write conflicts].

e.g., the code snippet below shows a typical non-transactional usage:

int retries = 0;
hse_err_t ret = 0;

while (retries < MAX_RETRIES) {
   ret = hse_kvs_put(kvs_handle, flags, txn, key, k_len, val, v_len)
   if (EAGAIN != hse_err_to_errno(ret))
      break;
   retries++;
}

Functions Documentation

function hse_err_to_errno

int hse_err_to_errno(
    hse_err_t err
)

Return an hse_err_t value's errno representation.

Parameters:

• err Error value returned from an HSE API function.

Return: Error's errno equivalent.

Note: This function is thread safe.

The hse_err_t scalar value err is translated into its errno equivalent.

function hse_strerror

size_t hse_strerror(
    hse_err_t err,
    char * buf,
    size_t buf_sz
)

Return an hse_err_t value's string representation.

Parameters:

• err Error value returned from an HSE API function.
• buf Buffer to hold the formatted string.
• buf_sz Size of buf.

Return: The number of characters (excluding the terminating NULL byte) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available.

Note: This function is thread safe.

The hse_err_t scalar value err is decoded into a NULL-terminated string representation giving more information about the error and where it occurred. The string will be truncated if buf_len is too small (a buf_len value of 128 is sufficient to avoid truncation of most error strings).

function hse_err_to_ctx

enum hse_err_ctx hse_err_to_ctx(
    hse_err_t err
)

Return an hse_err_t value's error context.

Parameters:

• err Error value returned from an HSE API function.

Return: The error's context.

Note: This function is thread safe.

The error context value is retrieved from the hse_err_t value.
