- Lib to display localized error messages
- .description
- All developpers know how boring it is to include in their programs
- messages telling the user what went wrong on an error. This is a long and
- tiresome task for the programmer, who would prefer to do more interesting
- things.
-
- Moreover, including error messages in the executable often
- dramatically increases the size of the files, and these messages are often
- in english only. So the idea of a shared library that would provide all
- localized error messages the system could deliver was born. This is exacly
- what errormsg.library is. It includes a function to simply get a pointer
- on the message to display, and functions to display it. As of V2.0,
- errormsg.library has a query function which enables it to be called from
- ARexx programs.
-
- In errormsg.library, error messages are identified by a
- system/subsystem id (to be able to from know who the message is) and the
- Code itself. Most of the functions provide tags to alter the behaviour of
- the library. Check the autodoc file for more information.
