DESCRIPTION
The pool_error() function returns the error value of the last failure
recorded by the invocation of one of the functions of the resource pool
configuration library, libpool.
The pool_strerror() function returns a descriptive null-terminated
string for each of the valid pool error codes.
The following error codes can be returned by pool_error():
