[PATCH 01/11] tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface

Show all headers | View raw

Adding part of the kernel's <linux/err.h> interface:
  inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error);
  inline long   __must_check PTR_ERR(__force const void *ptr);
  inline bool   __must_check IS_ERR(__force const void *ptr);

it will be used to propagate error through pointers
in following patches.
