💖 NAME 💖

std::error_category::message - std::error_category::message

Okay so the NAME line is literally the same thing twice, and honestly? Commitment. Iconic. This page is about the message member of std::error_category.

Welcome to std::error_...ry::message(3), straight outta the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, Libary is the manual’s spelling, not mine 💀.

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

Here’s the whole signature, copied exactly, no cap:

virtual std::string message( int condition ) const = 0;

since C++11 ✨

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• condition — specifies the error condition to describe. That’s the int you’re handing over, bestie.

✨ Return value ✨

That’s the whole return value. A string. Describing the given error condition. Periodt. 💅

😭 Exceptions 😭
