💅 asn1_perror — like, the libtasn1 manual page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is asn1_perror(3) from libtasn1, and it's a tiny little angel of a function that just wants to tell you what went wrong. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

asn1_perror — it's an API function, that's literally it 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libtasn1.h>

void asn1_perror(int error);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • int error — the error that some libtasn1 function handed back to you. like, the receipts of the chaos. hand it over here and we'll explain it. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this function prints a string to stderr that describes an error. 💬

It's giving perror(), highkey. Same energy, same vibe. The only difference is that instead of taking some random system error, it accepts an error returned by a libtasn1 function. That's the whole personality. 🧚
