script_error() — rsyslog 8.1911.0 documentation

# script_error()

## Purpose

script_error()

Returns the error state of functions that support it. C-Developers note that this is similar to `errno` under Linux. The error state corresponds to the function immediately called before. The next function call overrides it.

Right now, the value 0 means that that the previous functions succeeded, any other value that it failed. In the future, we may have more fine-grain error codes.

Function descriptions mention if a function supports error state information. If not, the function call will always set `script_error()` to 0.

## Example

The following example shows that script_error() only needs to be called and does not need any parameters.

    script_error()
