✨ shishi_error_printf ✨

okay bestie, so like... this page is shishi_error_printf(3), part of the shishi manual. it's giving "tiny function, big feelings". let's get into it 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

void shishi_error_printf(Shishi * handle, const char * format, ...);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, and you get one of these from shishi_init(). that's it, that's the whole vibe. no handle, no function, periodt.
  • const char * format — a printf style format string. yes, the same energy as your girl printf(3), love that for her.
  • ... — the printf style arguments. the lil extras that go with the format string, they're all just hanging out at the end there 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically this function sets the internal error description to a printf(3) formatted string. like, you feed it a format and args, and it writes the resulting text into shishi's own little error notebook. iconic behavior honestly.

ngl, this function is mostly for Shishi's internal use — it's her private group chat, not a public one. but 👀 if you develop an extension of Shishi, it may be useful to support the same infrastructure for error handling. so if you're building on top of her, this is how you can match her error-handling aesthetic. iykyk 💖
