.SH "NAME"
ne_get_error, ne_set_error \- error handling for HTTP sessions
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.ft B
.nf
#include <ne_session\&.h>
.fi
.ft
.HP \w'const\ char\ *ne_get_error('u
.BI "const char *ne_get_error(ne_sesssion\ *" "session" ");"
.HP \w'void\ ne_set_error('u
.BI "void ne_set_error(ne_sesssion\ *" "session" ", const\ char\ *" "format" ", \&.\&.\&.);"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The session error string is used to store any human\-readable error information associated with any errors which occur whilst using the HTTP session\&.
.PP
The
\fBne_get_error\fR
function returns the current session error string\&. This string persists only until it is changed by a subsequent operation on the session\&. If localisation was enabled at build time, and if necessary enabled at run\-time if necessary using
ne_i18n_init, the returned string may have been translated into the user\'s current locale\&.
.PP
The
\fBne_set_error\fR
function can be used to set a new session error string, using a
\fBprintf\fR\-style format string interface\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBne_set_error\fR
returns a constant
NUL\-terminated string\&. In the default English locale, the returned string will
\fInot\fR
have a terminating
\(lq\&.\(rq
period character\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Retrieve the current error string:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(\&.\&.\&.);
\&.\&.\&.
printf("Error was: %s\en", ne_get_error(sess));
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Set a new error string:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_session *sess = ne_session_create(\&.\&.\&.);
\&.\&.\&.
