errorp

NAME

errorp() - determine whether or not a given variable is an error code

SYNOPSIS

int errorp( mixed arg );

DESCRIPTION

Returns 1 if 'arg' is an integer that is an error code.

Eventually  efuns  will  be  modified to return standard error codes so
that code like this will be possible:

    if (errorp(result = efun_call()))
        printf("error = %d\n", result);

In future, there will also be a perror(result)  efun  to  return  error
string that goes with a particular error integer.
