πŸ’– XmCommandError πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to a library call moment β€” this one's called XmCommandError, and fr fr it's giving "tiny function, big feelings". 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

XmCommandError β€” a Command function that displays an error message πŸ’€βž‘οΈπŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Command.h>
void XmCommandError(
Widget widget,
XmString error);

no cap, that's the whole signature. two args. very demure, very mindful. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea, bestie: XmCommandError displays an error message in the history area of the Command widget. that's its whole job and it ate. πŸ”₯

the XmString called error stays on screen until the next command entered occurs β€” so it's not permanent, it's just living there rent-free until you type something new. main character energy, but with an expiry date. 😭

  • widget β€” specifies the Command widget ID 🫢
  • error β€” specifies the passed XmString ✨

and if you want the complete definition of Command plus all its associated resources? bestie you gotta go read XmCommand(3). iykyk. πŸ‘‘



real talk though β€” this is the vibe where a function is small but you still need it, so don't skip it just because it's short. periodt. πŸ’…

and that's a wrap, angel πŸ’– XmCommandError, library call, signing off β€” go forth and display your errors gorgeously 🧚✨
