 *
 * Because the Molko's Adventure framework use many different external
 * libraries, it is not an easy task to transform all external error codes to
 * a general one.
 *
 * Instead, the library stores a thread-local [errno]-like API that the user
 * can access as a string. When a function fails, the user should retrieve the
 * error as early as possible.
 *
 * [errno]: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/error/errno
