__SET_LIBERROR(3pub)

💖 __SET_LIBERROR(3pub) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the publib corner of the manual — this is __SET_LIBERROR(3pub), section 3pub, and it's about to teach you how to change your whole error-handling vibe ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

__set_liberror — modify error handling for publib 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <publib.h>

void __set_liberror(enum __liberror);

like. that's it. one header, one function, one argument. iconic minimalism 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

unless the documentation for a specific function says otherwise, the default thing that happens when a library function notices an error is that it aborts whatever it was doing and returns an error indication. very "nope, we're done here" energy 😭

but you can change that behaviour! that's literally what __set_liberror(3) is for 🦋

the argument you pass should be a bitwise OR of these values:

• __abort_on_error
• __exit_on_error
• __complain_on_error

⚠️ okay this part is important, no cap: __abort_on_error and __exit_on_error are mutually exclusive. only use one of them. do not be the girl who ORs both together. it's giving chaos 🙈
