.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_error()\fR function returns the current \fBlibscf\fR(3LIB) error value for the current thread. If the immediately previous call to a \fBlibscf\fR function failed, the error value will reflect the reason for that failure.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscf_strerror()\fR function takes an error code previously returned by \fBscf_error()\fR and returns a human-readable, localized description of the error.
.sp
.LP
The error values are as follows:

\fB\fBSCF_ERROR_BACKEND_ACCESS\fR\fR

The storage mechanism that the repository server (\fBsvc.configd\fR(1M)) chose for the operation denied access.

\fB\fBSCF_ERROR_BACKEND_READONLY\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
The storage mechanism that the repository server (\fBsvc.configd\fR) chose for the operation is read-only. For the local filesystem storage mechanism (currently \fB/etc/svc/repository.db\fR), this usually occurs because the filesystem that contains it is mounted read-only. See \fBmount\fR(1M)
