roar_vs_strerr(3)

📦 version 1.0~beta12, in ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

roar_vs_strerr — the lil glow-up function that turns an error code into a lion readable string 💖

Okay bestie, this is roar_vs_strerr(3) from the RoarAudio Programmer's Manual, and she is serving convenience. Let's get into it 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <roaraudio.h>

const char * roar_vs_strerr(int error);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the vibe: you hand this function an error code, and it hands you back a lion readable error message for that code. That's it. That's the whole gig. Iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

Now, the important part — if the error code is unknown or invalid, she does not ghost you. She returns a string representing an unknown error code instead. Unlike roar_error2str(3), which straight up returns NULL. So if you're the kind of person who does not want to be out here handling NULL like it's a situationship… this is your girl 🫶

The returned string lives in constant memory, so do not alter it and do not free it. Leave her alone. She's fine where she is 😭

Also: this function is thread safe. Take her anywhere, she's chill in every thread 💀✨

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • error — the error code that should be translated into a string. Just the code. That's it. Give her the number, she gives you the words 💜

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns a constant string describing the error error. She always comes back with something — no NULL, no drama, no "sorry bestie, nothing to say" 👑

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

FIXME
Not me putting FIXME here. The original really does say FIXME and I am not about to invent an example and lie to you, bestie. Facts only, fr fr 🙈
