Major error message overhaul.
eprintf() is used with only the function name that failed (and possibly a parameter) and then exits. Example: eprintf("read %s:", f->name); weprintf() is used when another function failed, but the program does not exit. The error message is a sentence. Example: weprintf("No friend with id %s found for %s\n", buf, c->numstr); logmsg() is not used when anything failed, it is just for displaying useful information for the user. There should be three logmsg formats: The first format consists of the area the logmsg() is concerned with, for example "Name", followed by a ">" sign, and then followed by the change within that area. This format deals with non-group and non-friend specific changes. Example: logmsg("State > %s\n", buf); The second format displays friend-specific information. It consists of a colon, followed by the friend name, followed by another colon, followed by the value that was changed and then the change itself. Example: logmsg(": %s : Rx > Accepted\n", f->name); The third format is similar to the second one, it consists of a dash ("-"), followed by a conference number, a colon, followed by the value that was changed and then the change itself. This format tells the user about conference-specific changes. Example: logmsg("- %s : Title > %s\n", c-numstr, title); Errors when trying to change something in the gslots are written with dprintf into the gslots .fd[ERR] and with weprintf() on the screen. This commit and the last one are attempts at implementing these rules.
