+NAME
+----
+tep_filter_strerror - Fills the filter error message in a buffer.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_filter_strerror*(struct tep_event_filter pass:[*]_filter_, enum tep_errno _err_, char pass:[*]buf, size_t _buflen_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_filter_strerror()_ function copies the _filter_ error buffer into the 
+given _buf_ with the size _buflen_. If the error buffer is empty, in the _buf_ 
+is copied a string, describing the error _err_. 
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_filter_strerror()_ function returns 0 if message was filled 
+successfully, or -1 in case of an error.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+struct tep_event_filter *filter = tep_filter_alloc(tep);
+...
+int ret;
+char errstr[200];
+ret = tep_filter_add_filter_str(filter, "sched/sched_wakeup:target_cpu==1"); 
+if(ret < 0) {
+	tep_filter_strerror(filter, ret, errstr, sizeof(errstr));
+	/* Failed to add a new rule to the filter, the error string is in errstr */
+}
+...
