-@command{libhaiku} is a simply error message printing C library
-with a collection of haiku that it prints instead of traditional
-error messages.
-
-A known issue is that must of the haiku uses 5--7--5@tie{}syllables
-rather than 5--7--5@tie{}morae. This is however of lesser importance,
-as it is much harder to write a 5--7--5@tie{}mora haiku than a
-5--7--5@tie{}syllable haiku.
-
-To use @command{libhaiku} include the head file @file{<libhaiku.h>}
-and link with @option{-lhaiku}. The function
-@example
-void libhaiku_perror(const char* s);
-@end example
-is used to print the error
-messages. @code{libhaiku_perror} shall print an error message in the
-format of a haiku, appropriate for the current value of @code{errno}.
-If there is not haiku available for the current value of @code{errno},
-@code{libhaiku_perror} shall call @code{perror} with @code{s} as its
-argument unless @code{s} is @code{NULL}, and then print a generic haiku.
-
-Unlike @code{perror}, @code{libhaiku_perror} shall not print anything
-if @code{errno} is zero. If you rather it did, you can use the macro
-
-@example
-#define libhaiku_perror(s) \
- do @{ \
- const char *s__ = (s); \
- if (errno && s__) \
- perror(s__); \
- errno = errno ? errno : -1; \
- libhaiku_perror(0); \
- @} while (0)
-@end example
