If no dynamic linking errors have occurred since the last +invocation of +\fIdlerror\fR(), +\fIdlerror\fR() +shall return NULL. +Thus, invoking +\fIdlerror\fR() +a second time, immediately following a prior invocation, shall result +in NULL being returned. +.P +It is implementation-defined whether or not the +\fIdlerror\fR() +function is thread-safe. A thread-safe implementation shall return only +errors that occur on the current thread. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +If successful, +\fIdlerror\fR() +shall return a null-terminated character string; otherwise, NULL +shall be returned. +.P +The application shall not modify the string returned. The returned +pointer might be invalidated or the string content might be overwritten +by a subsequent call to +\fIdlerror\fR() +in the same thread (if +\fIdlerror\fR() +is thread-safe) or in any thread (if +\fIdlerror\fR() +is not thread-safe).
