Thanks for your help.

I was looking for a way to actually have a customizable message to popup if a error occurs. Also, for word count "wc" is there a way to use pipe to count the words in your working directory?

like ls | wc -c ?

It doesn't seem to work out as well as I would like.

TIFFWarning(3T) 														   TIFFWarning(3T)

NAME
TIFFWarning, TIFFSetWarningHandler - library warning interface SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h> void TIFFWarning(const char* module, const char* fmt, ...) #include <stdargh.h> typedef void (*TIFFWarningHandler)(const char* module, const char* fmt, va_list ap); TIFFWarningHandler TIFFSetWarningHandler(TIFFWarningHandler handler); DESCRIPTION
TIFFWarning invokes the library-wide warning handler function to (normally) write a warning message to the stderr. The fmt parameter is a printf(3S) format string, and any number arguments can be supplied. The module parameter is interpreted as a string that, if non-zero, should be printed before the message; it typically is used to identify the software module in which a warning is detected. Applications that desire to capture control in the event of a warning should use TIFFSetWarningHandler to override the default warning han- dler. A NULL(0) warning handler function may be installed to suppress error messages. RETURN VALUES
TIFFSetWarningHandler returns a reference to the previous error handling function. SEE ALSO
