ARES_STRERROR(3)

omg hi bestie 💖 you just opened the ARES_STRERROR(3) page and honestly? good for you. it's giving “translate this ares error code for me before I spiral” energy, and we love that.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ares_strerror — get the description of an ares library error code. yes, that's the whole job. and it ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ares.h>

const char *ares_strerror(int code)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the way that ares_strerror works is: you pass in code, which is an ares library error code, and it hands you back the description of that code. the result comes as a NUL-terminated C string. that's it. that's the function. lowkey iconic. 🫶

💅 NOTES 💅

heads up, bestie: this function is not compatible with ares. it takes a different set of arguments. so do not just copy-paste an ares call in here and expect it to slay. different args, periodt. 😭

mwah 💋 — this little cutie came from the Library Functions Manual, dated 25 July 1998, and it's page ARES_STRERROR(3). bye bestie, go decode those errors 💖✨
