DESCRIPTION
Theeasprintf(),
efopen(),
ecalloc(),
emalloc(),
erealloc(),
ereallocarr(),
estrdup(),
estrndup(),
estrlcat(),
estrlcpy(),
estrtoi(),
estrtou(),
and
evasprintf()
functions operate exactly as the corresponding functions that do not start
with an ‘e’ except that in case of an error, they call the
installed error handler that can be configured with
esetfunc().
For the string handling functions, it is an error
when the destination buffer is not large enough to hold the complete string.
For functions that allocate memory or open a file, it is an error when they
would return a null pointer. The default error handler is
err(3). The function
esetfunc()
returns the previous error handler function. A NULL
error handler will just call
exit(3).

HISTORY
The estrtoi(),
estrtou() and ereallocarr()
functions were added in NetBSD 8.
