lsm_error_message_get(3)

💖 lsm_error_message_get(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one's from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual and it's genuinely one of the most lowkey useful little functions in the whole lsm_error family — it's the one that actually tells you what went wrong. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_error_message_get — retrieves the error message for the lsm_error. literally that's the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

char * lsm_error_message_get (lsm_error_ptr e);

look at her. one argument. no drama. main character energy fr fr 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• e — the lsm_error you wanna pull the error message out of. yes, that's the vibe. that's the whole argument.

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — iconic since day one, we stan a stable queen 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically: this function retrieves the error message for the lsm_error you specified. that's it. that's the tea. you hand her an error object, she hands you back the message inside it. the way that she just... does it. no notes. 🫶

---

🚨 NOTE 🚨

okay this part matters, bestie, do not skip it 🙈

the address returned is valid until lsm_error gets freed. so if you need a longer scope than that, copy the return value — like, actually copy it, for real.

and do NOT free the returned string. she's not yours. she's borrowed. freeing her would be a crime and the compiler will not forgive you 😭

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns a string 💖

and it returns NULL if argument 'e' is NULL or not a valid lsm_error_ptr. so like, vibe check your pointer before you come crying to her, okay? 🧚

---

and that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and read your error messages like the icon you are 💅✨🌸
