.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" $Header: XErrHndlr.d,v 1.2 88/06/11 07:50:10 mento Exp $
Xlib generally calls the program's
supplied error handler whenever an error is received.
It is not called on
.ZN BadName
errors from
.ZN OpenFont ,
.ZN LookupColor ,
or
.ZN AllocNamedColor
protocol requests or on
.ZN BadFont
errors from a
.ZN QueryFont
protocol request.
These errors generally are reflected back to the program through the
procedural interface.
Because this condition is not assumed to be fatal,
it is acceptable for your error handler to return.
However, the error handler should not
call any functions (directly or indirectly) on the display
that will generate protocol requests or that will look for input events.
The previous error handler is returned.
.LP
.\" $Header: XErrDescrip.d,v 1.3 88/08/21 07:02:39 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XGetErrorText
function copies a null-terminated string describing the specified error code
into the specified buffer.
The returned text is in the encoding of the current locale.
It is recommended that you use this function to obtain an error description
because extensions to Xlib may define their own error codes
and error strings.
.LP
.\" $Header: XDispName.d,v 1.3 88/06/11 07:50:03 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XDisplayName
function returns the name of the display that
.ZN XOpenDisplay
would attempt to use.
If a NULL string is specified,
.ZN XDisplayName
looks in the environment for the display and returns the display name that
.ZN XOpenDisplay
would attempt to use.
This makes it easier to report to the user precisely which display the
program attempted to open when the initial connection attempt failed.
.LP
.\" $Header: XIOErrHnd.d,v 1.3 88/08/20 09:36:21 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XSetIOErrorHandler
sets the fatal I/O error handler.
Xlib calls the program's supplied error handler if any sort of system call
error occurs (for example, the connection to the server was lost).
This is assumed to be a fatal condition,
and the called routine should not return.
If the I/O error handler does return,
the client process exits.
.LP
Note that the previous error handler is returned.
.LP
The
.ZN XGetErrorDatabaseText
function returns a null-terminated message
(or the default message) from the error message
database.
Xlib uses this function internally to look up its error messages.
The default_string is assumed to be in the encoding of the current locale.
The buffer_return text is in the encoding of the current locale.
.LP
The name argument should generally be the name of your application.
The message argument should indicate which type of error message you want.
If the name and message are not in the Host Portable Character Encoding
the result is implementation dependent.
Xlib uses three predefined ``application names'' to report errors
(uppercase and lowercase matter):
.IP XProtoError 1i
The protocol error number is used as a string for the message argument.
.IP XlibMessage 1i
These are the message strings that are used internally by the library.
.IP XRequest 1i
For a core protocol request,
the major request protocol number is used for the message argument.
For an extension request,
the extension name (as given by
.ZN InitExtension )
followed by a period (\.) and the minor request protocol number
is used for the message argument.
If no string is found in the error database,
the default_string is returned to the buffer argument.
