(This function is part of SDL_net, a separate library from SDL.)

SDLNet_GetError

Get the latest error message from SDL_net.

Header File

Defined in SDL_net.h

Syntax

const char * SDLNet_GetError(void);

Return Value

Returns the last set error message in UTF-8 encoding.

Remarks

The error message, depending on how SDL_net was built, may or may not be thread-local data. Sometimes things will set an error message when no failure was reported; the error string is only meaningful right after a public API reports a failure, and should be ignored otherwise.

Version

This function is available since SDL_net 2.0.0.
