💖 AuSetErrorHandler(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the AuSetErrorHandler(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — yes the page is called AuSetErrorHandler but the star of the show is literally named AuSetIOErrorHandler, iykyk, we don't question the naming choices of the ancients 💅

✨ Name ✨

AuSetIOErrorHandler — set the handler for fatal IO errors 🚨

---

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

AuBool (*AuSetIOErrorHandler(server, handler))()
    AuServer *server;
    AuBool (*handler)(AuServer *);

---

🎀 Arguments 🎀

• server — the connection to the audio server, obviously 🫶
• handler — the fatal error handler, bestie. Pass NULL if you wanna reinstall the default fatal error handler. That's the reset button, no cap.

---

🌸 Description 🌸

So AuSetIOErrorHandler sets the fatal I/O error handler and hands you back the previous error handler. Two-for-one, iconic behavior.

That handler gets invoked when a system call error happens — like, for example, when the connection to the server was lost 😭 absolutely devastating.

⚠️ okay so listen: this is assumed to be a fatal condition, which means your error handler routine should not return. Like, at all. If the I/O error handler does return, the client process exits. Periodt. 💀
