NAME

ASetErrorHandler − replace default error handler with specified handler

SYNOPSIS

AErrorHandler
ASetErrorHandler (

AErrorHandler handler);

DESCRIPTION

ASetErrorHandler() replaces the default error handler with the handler specified in handler, and returns a pointer to the handler that was previously in effect.  The new error handler should return AENoError, if the error should be ignored. If the error should not be ignored and the handler cannot correct it, the handler should return the error code. 

handler is the pointer to an application-supplied handler function. 

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, ASetErrorHandler() returns a pointer to the handler that was previously in effect. 

ERRORS

ASetErrorHandler() does not return an error status. 

EXAMPLE

The following example replaces the default error handler with a handler named myhandler. 

long  myhandler(

    Audio  ∗ audio,

    AErrorEvent  ∗ err_event

    )

{

char    errorbuff[132];

    printf ("Error is %s\n", errorbuff);

    return  (err_event->error_code);

}
