C語言中標準輸入流、標準輸出流、標準錯誤輸出流

　　stderr

　　objectFILE * stderr;

　　Standard error stream

　　The standard error stream is the default destination for error messages and other diagnostic warnings. Like stdout, it is usually also directed to the output device of the standard console (generally, the screen).

　　stderr can be used as an argument for any function that expects an output stream as one of its parameters, like fputs or fprintf.

　　Although generally both stdout and stderr are associated with the same console output, applications may differentiate between what is sent to stdout and what to stderrfor the case that one of them is redirected. For example, it is frequent to redirect the regular output of a console program (stdout) to a file while expecting the error messages to keep appearing in the console screen.

　　It is also possible to redirect stderr to some other destination from within a program using the freopen function.

　　perror

　　functionvoid perror ( const char * str );

　　Print error message

　　Interprets the value of the global variable errno into a string and prints that string to stderr (standard error output stream, usually the screen), optionaly preceding it with the custom message specified in str.

　　errno is an integral variable whose value describes the last error produced by a call to a library function. The error strings produced by perror depend on the developing platform and compiler.

　　If the parameter str is not a null pointer, str is printed followed by a colon (:) and a space. Then, whether str was a null pointer or not, the generated error description is printed followed by a newline character ('\n').

　　perror should be called right after the error was produced, otherwise it can be overwritten in calls to other functions.

　　Parameters.

　　str

　　C string containing a custom message to be printed before the error message itself.

　　If it is a null pointer, no preceding custom message is printed, but the error message is printed anyway.

　　By convention, the name of the application itself is generally used as parameter.
