CPC Error Handling Interfaces

This section describes CPC's error handling interfaces.

typedef void (cpc_errhndlr_t)(const char *fn, int subcode, const char *fmt,
          va_list ap);
void cpc_seterrhndlr(cpc_t *cpc, cpc_errhndlr_t *errhndlr);

These two interfaces allow the passage of a cpc_t handle. The cpc_errhndlr_t handle takes an integer subcode in addition to a string. The integer subcode describes the specific error that was encountered by the function that the fn argument refers to. The integer subcode simplifies an application's recognition of error conditions. The string value of the fmt argument contains an internationalized description of the error subcode and is suitable for printing.
