NAME
       gai_strerror  -	Print  an  error message string based on a return code
       from the getaddrinfo or getnameinfo routine

LIBRARY
       Standard C Library (libc)

PARAMETERS
       Specifies an error code returned from either getaddrinfo() or  getname‐
       info().

DESCRIPTION
       The gai_strerror() routine returns a pointer to a string that describes
       the error based on an EAI_xxx value returned by	the  getaddrinfo()  or
       getnameinfo() routine.
