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.
