error

signature
error(any) -> any

What it does

What an error value says, and null for any other value, so it can be asked of anything: a value that did not fail has no error, whatever it is. r.error and r.message give the same. On a server, what it gives is plain text: an error Quillo made is hidden from visitors until it is read this way, so do not send it on.

Examples

print(error(err("not found")))print(error(int("x")))print(error(5))
output
not foundnot an int: "x"null
