✨ pr29_strerror(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in libidn and it's called pr29_strerror — it's giving "translate the error code into words so a human can actually read it" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pr29.h>

const char * pr29_strerror(Pr29_rc rc);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Pr29_rc rc — a Pr29_rc return code, bestie. that's the thing you're about to turn into a sentence 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically this function takes a return code integer and converts it into a text string. no cap. and what's that string for? for outputting a diagnostic message to the user — like, you got an error, here's the error, in actual words 💖

⭐ PR29_SUCCESS ⭐

Successful operation, slay 💅 this value is guaranteed to always be zero, and the remaining ones are only guaranteed to hold non-zero values — purely for logical comparison purposes, iykyk.

😭 PR29_PROBLEM 😭

A problem sequence was encountered. not the vibe, but at least you know now.

💀 PR29_STRINGPREP_ERROR 💀

The character set conversion failed — and heads up, this one's only for pr29_8z() 🙈

Return value: Returns a pointer to a statically allocated string containing a description of the error with the return code rc.
