.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
For the convenience of programmers instrumenting their code, several
\fBlibcpc\fR(3LIB) functions automatically emit to \fBstderr\fR error messages
that attempt to provide a more detailed explanation of their error return
values.  While this can be useful for simple programs, some applications might
wanat to report their errors differently, for example, to a window or to a log
file.
.sp
.LP
The \fBcpc_seterrhndlr()\fR function allows the caller to provide an alternate
function for reporting errors. The type signature is shown in the SYNOPSIS. The
\fIfn\fR argument is passed the library function name that detected the error,
an integer subcode indicating the specific error condidtion that has occurred,
and the format string \fIfmt\fR that contains a textual description of the
integer subcode. The format string \fIfmt\fR and argument pointer \fIap\fR can
be passed directly to \fBvsnprintf\fR(3C) or similar \fIvarargs\fR-based
function for formatting.
.sp
.LP
The integer subcodes are provided to allow programs to recognize error
conditions while using \fBlibcpc\fR. The \fIfmt\fR string is provided as a
convenience for easy printing. The error subcodes are:

.LP
The following example produces error messages only when debugging the program
containing it, or when the \fBcpc_bind_curlwp()\fR, \fBcpc_bind_cpu()\fR, or
\fBcpc_bind_pctx()\fR functions are reporting an error when binding a
cpc_set_t.
