giiPanic(3)								GGI							       giiPanic(3)

NAME
       giiPanic - Exit LibGII programs for fatal errors

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ggi/gii.h>

       int giiPanic(const char * format, ...);

DESCRIPTION
       ggiPanic(3)  shuts down the application, closing all inputs, with printf(3)-style reporting to stderr, taking a format string and any addi-
       tional variables.

       giiPanic should only be used by usermode programs when something is really screwed, and they do not know what to do. The same  applies  for
       libraries, but might be used in rare situations such as corruption of critical data structures.

EXAMPLES
       An unrecoverable error:

       if (my_important_struct->magic != MAGIC) {
	 giiPanic("Fatal error: magic corrupted
");
       }
