Error codes

Hi. I have a C-program that inserts data in a database,
and sometimes there will be a duplicate. I have an index in the table so
the INSERT will not succeed. How can I from my C-program be sure that the
mysql_query call failed due to duplicate ? The function returns -1...is
there a way to make sure that the call failed due to duplicate and not
some other error ?

Thanx
