      4 .Sh NAME
      5 .Nm sqlite3_set_errmsg
      6 .Nd set error code and message
      7 .Sh SYNOPSIS
      8 .In sqlite3.h
      9 .Ft int
     10 .Fo sqlite3_set_errmsg
     11 .Fa "sqlite3 *db"
     12 .Fa "int errcode"
     13 .Fa "const char *zErrMsg"
     14 .Fc
     15 .Sh DESCRIPTION
     16 Set the error code of the database handle passed as the first argument
     17 to errcode, and the error message to a copy of nul-terminated string
     18 zErrMsg.
     19 If zErrMsg is passed NULL, then the error message is set to the default
     20 message associated with the supplied error code.
     21 Subsequent calls to
     22 .Fn sqlite3_errcode
     23 and
     24 .Fn sqlite3_errmsg
     25 and similar will return the values set by this routine in place of
     26 what was previously set by SQLite itself.
     27 .Pp
     28 This function returns SQLITE_OK if the error code and error message
     29 are successfully set, SQLITE_NOMEM if an OOM occurs, and SQLITE_MISUSE
     30 if the database handle is NULL or invalid.
     31 .Pp
     32 The error code and message set by this routine remains in effect until
     33 they are changed, either by another call to this routine or until they
     34 are changed to by SQLite itself to reflect the result of some subsquent
     35 API call.
     36 .Pp
     37 This function is intended for use by SQLite extensions or wrappers.
     38 The idea is that an extension or wrapper can use this routine to set
     39 error messages and error codes and thus behave more like a core SQLite
     40 feature from the point of view of an application.
     41 .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     42 These declarations were extracted from the
     43 interface documentation at line 4252.
