  27. .SH NAME
  28. TIFFError, TIFFSetErrorHandler \- library error handling interface
  29. .SH SYNOPSIS
  30. .B "#include <tiffio.h>"
  31. .sp
  32. .BI "void TIFFError(const char *" module ", const char *" fmt ", " ... ")"
  33. .sp
  34. .B "#include <stdarg.h>"

  38. .B "TIFFErrorHandler TIFFSetErrorHandler(TIFFErrorHandler handler);"
  39. .SH DESCRIPTION
  40. .I TIFFError
  41. invokes the library-wide error handling function to (normally) write an error
  42. message to the
  43. .BR stderr .
  44. The
  45. .I fmt
  46. parameter is a
  47. .IR printf (3S)
  48. format string, and any number arguments can be supplied. The
  49. .I module
  50. parameter, if non-zero, is printed before the message; it typically is used to
  51. identify the software module in which an error is detected.
  52. .PP
  53. Applications that desire to capture control in the event of an error should
  54. use
  55. .IR TIFFSetErrorHandler
  56. to override the default error handler.
  57. A
  58. .SM NULL
  59. (0) error handling function may be installed to suppress error messages.
  60. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  61. .IR TIFFSetErrorHandler
  62. returns a reference to the previous error handling function.
