### Description: db_strerror

This function is a superset of the ANSI C X3.159-1989 (ANSI C) strerror(3) function. If the error number error is greater than or equal to 0, then the string returned by the system function strerror(3) is returned. If the error number is less than 0, an error string appropriate to the corresponding Berkeley DB library error is returned. See Error returns to applications for more information.
