Xapian::Error(3)

🦋 Xapian::Error(3) 🦋

okay so this is the Xapian::Error(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it’s all about Search::Xapian::Error — the base class for every exception in Search::Xapian. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

• Search::Xapian::Error — base class for all exceptions in Search::Xapian 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lowkey important vibe check: in C++ this is an abstract class, meaning it cannot be instantiated directly. no cap. 💀

In Perl there is no such concept, but bestie, you should not need to create instances of this class yourself. 🧚

---

💖 METHODS 💖

All exception objects have the following methods, periodt. 👑

🎀 get_msg 🎀

Returns a string with a descriptive error message, which is useful for outputting. literally made for showing you what went wrong. 😭

🦋 get_type 🦋

The type of this error, e.g. "DocNotFoundError". iykyk. ✨

🌈 get_context 🌈

Optional context information, returned as a string. extra lore, basically. 🙈

💜 get_error_string 💜

Returns any error string from errno or similar associated with this error. yes, that kind of system-error tea. 🍓

---

bestie reminder: this class is abstract in C++, so don’t try to instantiate it directly there — and in Perl you shouldn’t need to make your own instances either. 💅
