/* NAME
/*	error 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	diagnostics handlers
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <error.h>
/*
/*	void	error(format, ...)
/*	char	*format;
/*
/*	void	remark(format, ...)
/*	char	*format;
/*
/*	void	panic(format, ...)
/*	char	*format;
/*
/*	char	*progname;
/*	int	verbose;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module reports diagnostics. Each routine produces a one-line
/*	record with the program name and a caller-provided informative
/*	message. In the format string, %m is replaced by the text that
/*	corresponds to the present \fBerrno\fR value.
/*
/*	error() writes a message to the standard error stream and
/*	terminates the process with a non-zero exit status.
/*
/*	remark() writes a message to the standard error stream.
/*
/*	panic() writes a message to the standard error stream and
/*	forces a core dump.
/*
/*	progname is a global variable that the application should
/*	assign the program name. The initial value is a pointer to
/*	the string \fB"unknown"\fR.
/*
/*	verbose is a global variable (initially, zero), that exists
/*	solely for the convenience of the application. Typical usage
/*	is like:
/*
/* .ti +5
/*	if (verbose) remark(...);
/* SEE ALSO
/*	errno(2) error numbers
/* HISTORY
/*	error() and remark() appear in "Software Tools" by B.W. Kernighan
/*	and P.J. Plaugher.
