AuGetErrorHandler(3)

✨ AuGetErrorHandler(3) ✨

ok so bestie, real talk: this page lives in the audiolib manual — the Network Audio System C Language Interface — and it's literally the manual page for AuGetErrorText. (yes the header up top says AuGetErrorHandler(3), no i don't know why either, we move 💅). it's a library function, it's a vibe, let's get into it.

---

🌸 Name 🌸

AuGetErrorText — get a description of an error code. it's giving "bestie, what does this error even mean" and honestly, iconic behaviour.

---

🎀 Synopsis 🎀

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

void AuGetErrorText(server, code, buffer_return, length)
    AuServer *server;
    int code;
    char *buffer_return; /* RETURN */
    int length;

so you pull in the header, and you call it with those four things. note the /* RETURN */ on buffer_return — that's the one that hands stuff back to you, not the other way around. 🫶

🦋 Arguments 🦋

• server — the connection to the audio server. your whole link to the audio situation, basically.
• code — the error code you want a description of. the mystery number, the little guy you're interrogating. 🔍
• buffer_return — Returns the error description. it's a return argument, so it gets filled in for you.
• length — the length of the buffer. so the function knows how much room it's got to work with, no cap.

---

💖 Description 💖

AuGetErrorText copies a NUL-terminated string describing code into buffer_return.

that's it, that's the whole thing, and honestly? obsessed. you hand it a code, it hands you back the words. ✨
