+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn strerror
+function returns a pointer to the language-dependent error message
+string affiliated with the specified error number
+.Fa errnum .
+The returned string contains a maximum of
+.Dv NL_TEXTMAX
+characters, including the trailing NUL.

+The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program, but may be
+overwritten by subsequent calls to
+.Fn strerror .
+.Pp
+.Fn strerror_r
+is a thread safe version of
+.Fn strerror
+that places the error message in the given buffer
+.Fa strerrbuf .
+If the error message is larger then
+.Fa buflen
+the message will be truncated to fit within buflen and
+.Er ERANGE
+is returned.
+.Fn strerror_r
+returns zero upon successful completion.
+An error number is returned, otherwise.
