    Test Output

    ************************************************************************
    /tset/ANSI.os/string/strerror_X/T.strerror_X 2 Failed

    Test Description:
    For XPG4 and UNIX98 modes:
    When the value of errnum is not a valid error number, then
    strerror(errnum) either sets errno to EINVAL or returns a
    pointer
    to a message string and does not change errno.
    For other test modes:
    When errnum has any value in the range INT_MIN to INT_MAX,
    then
    strerror(errnum) returns a pointer to a message string and
    may (if
    errnum is not a valid error number) set errno to EINVAL.

    Test Strategy:
    IF the test mode is XPG4 or UNIX98:
    SET errno to zero
    CALL strerror(-1)
    IF errno is zero:
    VERIFY that strerror() returned a pointer to a message
    string
    OTHERWISE:
    VERIFY that errno is equal to EINVAL
    OTHERWISE:
    FOR errnum values INT_MIN, -1, and INT_MAX:
    SET errno to zero
    CALL strerror(errnum)
    VERIFY that errno is zero
    VERIFY that strerror() returned a pointer to a message
    string

    Test Information:
    strerror(-2147483648) returned empty string
    strerror(-1) returned empty string
    strerror(2147483647) returned empty string
