6.2. Error Handling

This section describes the error handling functions of the low-level CUDA driver application programming interface.

Functions

CUresult cuGetErrorName ( CUresult error, const char** pStr )
Gets the string representation of an error code enum name.
CUresult cuGetErrorString ( CUresult error, const char** pStr )
Gets the string description of an error code.

Functions

CUresult cuGetErrorName ( CUresult error, const char** pStr )
Gets the string representation of an error code enum name.
Parameters
error
- Error code to convert to string
pStr
- Address of the string pointer.
Description

Sets *pStr to the address of a NULL-terminated string representation of the name of the enum error code error. If the error code is not recognized, CUDA_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE will be returned and *pStr will be set to the NULL address.
