+.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.
+.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.
