SYNOPSIS

#include <libxo/xo.h>

void
xo_emit_warn(const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_warnx(const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_warn_c(int code, const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_warn_hc(xo_handle_t *xop, int code, const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_err(int eval, const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_errc(int eval, int code, const char *fmt, ...);

void
xo_emit_errx(int eval, const char *fmt, ...);

DESCRIPTION

Many programs make use of the standard library functions err(3) and warn(3) to generate errors and warnings for the user. libxo wants to pass that information via the current output style, and provides compatible functions to allow this.

The fmt argument is one compatible with xo_emit(3) which allows these functions make structured data. To generate unstructured data, use the xo_err(3) functions.

These functions display the program name, a colon, a formatted message based on the arguments, and then optionally a colon and an error message associated with either errno or the code parameter.

    EXAMPLE:
        if (open(filename, O_RDONLY) < 0)
            xo_err(1, "cannot open file '%s'", filename);

HISTORY

The libxo library first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0 .

“	Today, the Unix equivalent of a power drill would have 20 dials and switches, come with a nonstandard plug, require the user to hand-wind the motor coil, and not accept 3/8" or 7/8" drill bits (though this would be documented in the BUGS section of its instruction manual).	”
