.TH LIBHAIKU_PERROR 3 LIBHAIKU
.SH NAME
libhaiku_perror \- Print a poetic error message
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libhaiku.h>
void \fBlibhaiku_perror\fP(const char *\fIs\fP);
.fi
.PP
Link with
.IR \-lhaiku .
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B libhaiku_perror
shall print an error message in the format of a haiku, appropriate
for the current value of
.BR errno .
If there is not haiku available for the current value of
.BR errno ,
.B libhaiku_perror
shall call
.BR perror (3)
with
.I s
as its argument unless
.I s
is
.BR NULL ,
and then print a generic haiku.
.PP
Unlike
.BR perror (3),
.B libhaiku_perror
shall not print anything if
.B errno
is zero. If you rather it did, you can use the macro
.PP
.nf
#define libhaiku_perror(s) \\
do { \\
const char *s__ = (s); \\
if (errno && s__) \\
perror(s__); \\
errno = errno ? errno : -1; \\
libhaiku_perror(s__); \\
} while (0)
.fi
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR libhaiku (7),
.BR perror (3)
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES"
Must of the haiku uses 5\-7\-5 syllables rather than 5\-7\-5 morae.
This is however of lesser importance, as it is much harder to write
a 5\-7\-5 mora haiku than a 5\-7\-5 syllable haiku.
