.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR liberror_print_error ()
function prints the error, including available details, backtrace,
and cause recursively, specified in the
.I error
parameter, or the error currently assigned to the thread if
.I error
is
.IR NULL ,
to
.IR fp ,
or to the standard error if
.I fp
is
.IR NULL .
Unless
.I prefix
is
.I NULL
or the empty string, each printed line will becoming with with
.I prefix
followed by a space and a colon. Under normal usage,
.I prefix
shall be
.I argv[0]
from the
.BR main ()
function.
.PP
If
.I reset
is non-zero,
.I error
will be deallocated with the
.BR liberror_free_error (3)
function, or if
.I error
is
.IR NULL ,
with the
.BR liberror_reset_error (3)
function, which marks that the thread does not have any error
assigned to it. Thus, if
.I error
is
.I NULL
and
.I reset
is non-zero, there is no need to call the
.BR liberror_reset_error (3)
function.
