       globus_gram_protocol_error_messages - Error Messages

       GRAM Error Messages Functions in this section handle converting GRAM error codes to strings which can
       help the user diagnose GRAM problems.

   Functions
       const char * globus_gram_protocol_error_string (int error_code)
           Get a description of a a GRAM error code.
       void globus_gram_protocol_error_7_hack_replace_message (const char *message)
           Replace the error message associated with error 7 with a custom message.
       void globus_gram_protocol_error_10_hack_replace_message (const char *message)
           Replace the error message associated with error 10 with a custom message.

Detailed Description

       GRAM Error Messages Functions in this section handle converting GRAM error codes to strings which can

Function Documentation

   void globus_gram_protocol_error_10_hack_replace_message (const char * message)
       Replace the error message associated with error 10 with a custom message. The
       globus_gram_protocol_error_10_hack_replace_message() function creates a custom version of the error
       message for the error GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_PROTOCOL_FAILED. The string pointed to by the message
       parameter is copied to thread-local storage, and subsequent calls to globus_gram_protocol_error_string()
       with this error number will return this copy of the string. Each time
       globus_gram_protocol_error_10_hack_replace_message() is called for a particular thread, the previous
       message is freed.

       The purpose of this function is to allow more meaningful error messages to be generated when protocol
       errors occur. In particular, the specific XIO error reason can be used in place of a generic protocol
       failure message.

       Parameters:
           message The new message to be associated with the GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_PROTOCOL_FAILED error
           code.

       Note:
           Since Globus 5.0.0, this function uses thread-specific storage, so that the value returned by
           globus_gram_protocol_error_string() for GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_PROTOCOL_FAILED is that for the
           last authorization error where globus_gram_protocol_error_10_hack_replace_message() was called from
           this thread.

   void globus_gram_protocol_error_7_hack_replace_message (const char * message)
       Replace the error message associated with error 7 with a custom message. The
       globus_gram_protocol_error_7_hack_replace_message() function creates a custom version of the error
       message for the error GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_AUTHORIZATION. The string pointed to by the message
       parameter is copied to thread-local storage, and subsequent calls to globus_gram_protocol_error_string()
       with this error number will return this copy of the string. Each time
       globus_gram_protocol_error_7_hack_replace_message() is called for a particular thread, the previous
       message is freed.

       The purpose of this function is to allow more meaningful error messages to be generated when
       authentication failures occur. In particular, the specific GSSAPI error reason can be used in place of a
       generic authorization failure message.

       Parameters:
           message The new message to be associated with the GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_AUTHORIZATION error
           code.

       Note:
           Since Globus 5.0.0, this function uses thread-specific storage, so that the value returned by
           globus_gram_protocol_error_string() for GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_ERROR_AUTHORIZATION is that for the last
           authorization error where globus_gram_protocol_error_7_hack_replace_message() was called from this
           thread.

   const char* globus_gram_protocol_error_string (int error_code)
       Get a description of a a GRAM error code. The globus_gram_protocol_error_string() function takes a GRAM
       error code value and returns the associated error code string for the message. The string is statically
       allocated by the GRAM Protocol library and should not be modified or freed by the caller. The string is
       intended to complete a sentence of the form '[operation] failed because ...'

       Parameters:
           error_code The error code to translate into a string.

       Returns:
           The globus_gram_protocol_error_string() function returns a static string containing an explanation of
           the error.
