SHTK_CLI_ERROR(3)     DragonFly Library Functions Manual     SHTK_CLI_ERROR(3)

NAME
     shtk_cli_error - Prints a runtime error message and exits

LIBRARY
     shtk_import cli

SYNOPSIS
     shtk_cli_error message1 [.. messageN]

DESCRIPTION
     The shtk_cli_error function prints the given runtime error message to
     stderr and terminates execution of the script with a return value of 1.
     The message can be provided as one or more arguments as depicted by
     message1 to messageN; all arguments are concatenated together into a
     single line.

     The printed message has the following form, where `progname' is
     determined by shtk_cli_progname(3):

           progname: E: message1 .. messageN

     shtk_cli_error should be used to bail out on erroneous conditions not
     directly caused by an invalid invocation of the script.  For errors
     caused directly by the user, such as specifying an incorrect flag to the
     program, should be reported using shtk_cli_usage_error(3).
