Description

Scierror is a C gateway function which displays an error message to the user (same profil as the printf function) and returns an integer value specifying an error level. You must include Scierror.h to benefit from this function. This header is provided in the output_stream module (this directory should be included by default).

Examples

In this example, the C gateway function prints an error message and returns the error level 133.

#include <stack-c.h>
#include <Scierror.h>

int sci_myscierror(char * fname)
{
  Scierror(133,"An error has occurred: %d\n", 1);

  return 0;
}
