NAME¶
giiPanic - Exit LibGII programs for fatal errors
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <ggi/gii.h>
int giiPanic(const char * format, ...);
DESCRIPTION¶
ggiPanic(3) shuts down the application, closing all inputs, with
printf(3)-style reporting to stderr, taking a format string and any additional
variables.
giiPanic should only be used by usermode programs when something is
really screwed, and they do not know what to do. The same applies for
libraries, but might be used in rare situations such as corruption of critical
data structures.
EXAMPLES¶
An unrecoverable error:
if (my_important_struct->magic != MAGIC) {
giiPanic("Fatal error: magic corrupted\n");
}
