NAME

       vpGetError, vpGetErrorString - retrieve error codes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <volpack.h>

       vpResult
       vpGetError(vpc)
           vpContext *vpc;

       char *
       vpGetErrorString(code)
           vpResult code;

ARGUMENTS

       vpc    VolPack context from vpCreateContext.

       code   A VolPack error result code.

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines  are  used  for  error handling.  vpGetError return the
       error code from the first function call that failed since the last call
       to   vpGetError.    vpGetErrorString   returns   a  descriptive  string
       corresponding to an error code.  The string is stored in a global array
       so it does not need to be copied to separate memory.

ERRORS

       vpGetError  cannot  fail.  A return value not equal to VP_OK means that
       some previous function call has failed.  vpGetErrorString returns  NULL
       if code is invalid.
