💖 roar_errorstring(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the RoarAudio Programmer's Manual — yes this is roar_errorstring(3), and yes it's short, but it's lowkey a whole vibe ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

roar_errorstring</ppurple> — a Lion-readable error string for the current RoarAudio error value 🦁💅

like. it's the error message but it speaks Lion. iconic.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <roaraudio.h>

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. we love a minimal queen 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this variable is a read-only string of the current RoarAudio error code. fr fr, read-only — don't even think about writing to it, bestie, that's not the vibe 🙈

it may be defined as a variable or as a macro, depending on how it's feeling that day. either way it's giving the same energy.

and here's the tea: it is equivalent to:

roar_error2str(roar_error)

so if you already know roar_error2str(roar_error), you literally already know this. no cap. it's the same thing, just wrapped in a cute little variable-shaped package 🎁

---

⭐ VALUE ⭐

Constants — a string describing the error error, or NULL on error. 😭

wait, "error error"? yeah bestie, that's what it says, and I am not about to fix it — the facts stay exactly as they are, periodt. 💀

so: a string that describes the error, OR NULL if there's an error. the audacity of NULL tbh.

---

💀 EXAMPLES 💀

FIXME

...yeah. that's the example. the example is literally FIXME. the manpage authors said "we'll do it later" and never did, and honestly? relatable main character energy 🧚
