These routines offer an interface to convert MRD status codes,
    element exception codes and constants for other common words
    into internationalized text. The message catalogs used by these
    routines are the same ones used by the Media Robot Utility
    command line interface. However, if no message catalog is
    available, a standard default message will be used for each code.

    The routine mrd_strstatus(3mrd) accepts MRD error codes and
    returns the corresponding message string from the catalog.

    The routine mrd_strelement(3mrd) accepts one of the MRD_ELEMENT
    codes defined in <mrd_message.h> and returns the corresponding
    word. An effort has been made to ensure that the first four
    code values correspond to the SCSI element types of SLOT, DRIVE,
    PORT and TRANSPORT, but the routine will remap these values to
    corresponding MRD_ELEMENT codes and return that string.

    The routine mrd_strexcept(3mrd) accepts the ASC/ASCQ code set
    in the element_info_t structure from an mrd_show(3mrd) or mrd_
    find_cartridge(3mrd) when the ELEMENT_EXCEPT bit is set in the
    data.state field. Using the user provided buffer and length
    it will format the corresponding message to include the ASC
    /ASCQ values and return a pointer to the space. Since many
    of these code are vendor specific, we're unable to provide
    translations for all them, but we have made an effort to include
    the translations for many of the exception codes on supported
    medium-changers.
