Information processing apparatus, recording medium including program for information processing apparatus, and method of controlling information processing apparatus

A computer readable medium including a program for an information processing apparatus that includes a communication unit, an arithmetic processing device, and a memory device, the program causing the arithmetic processing device to function as:

• a processing unit that acquires a memory capacity of the memory device desirable for communication by the communication unit;
• a resource shortage information save and report unit that holds resource shortage information in the memory device and reports the resource shortage information when the processing unit fails to acquire the memory capacity;
• a resource shortage information reference unit that reads the resource shortage information held in the memory device;
• and
• an error output unit that outputs the resource shortage information read as an error by the resource shortage information reference unit.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus that includes a communication unit and an arithmetic processing device and a memory device, the method comprising:

• acquiring a memory capacity of the memory device desirable for communication by the communication unit;
• holding resource shortage information in the memory device;
• reporting the resource shortage information when the acquiring the memory capacity results in failure;
• reading the resource shortage information held in the memory device;
• and
• outputting, as an error, the resource shortage information read in the reading.
