Otherwise, a positive value of type .Vt errno_t is passed. .El .Pp Only the most recent handler registered with .Fn set_constraint_handler_s is called when a runtime-constraint violation occurs. .Pp The implementation has a default constraint handler that is used if no calls to the .Fn set_constraint_handler_s function have been made. If the .Fa handler argument to .Fn set_constraint_handler_s is a .Dv NULL pointer, the default handler becomes the current constraint handler. .Pp The .Fn abort_handler_s and .Fn ignore_handler_s are the standard-defined runtime-constraint handlers provided by the C library. .Pp The .Fn abort_handler_s function writes the error message including the .Fa msg to .Dv stderr and calls the .Xr abort 3 function. The .Fn abort_handler_s is currently the default runtime-constraint handler. .Pp The .Fn ignore_handler_s simply returns to its caller. .Sh RETURN VALUES The .Fn set_constraint_handler_s function returns a pointer to the previously registered handler, or .Dv NULL if none was previously registered. .Pp The .Fn abort_handler_s function does not return to its caller. .Pp The .Fn ignore_handler_s function returns no value. .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn set_constraint_handler_s function conforms to .St -isoC-2011 K.3.6.1.1. .Sh AUTHORS This manual page was written by .An Yuri Pankov Aq Mt yuripv@yuripv.net .
