curl_easy_strerror - return string describing error code

#include <curl/curl.h>

const char *curl_easy_strerror(CURLcode errornum);

The curl_easy_strerror(3) function returns a string describing the CURLcode error code passed in the argument errornum.

Typically applications also appreciate CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER(3) for more specific error descriptions generated at run-time.

    /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    /* Check for errors */
    if(res != CURLE_OK)
      fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
              curl_easy_strerror(res));

This function was added in libcurl 7.12.0
