bool pkpy_clear_error(pkpy_vm*, char** message)

• If a method returns false, call the pkpy_clear_error method to check the error and clear it
• If pkpy_clear_error returns false, it means that no error was set, and it takes no action
• If pkpy_clear_error returns true, it means there was an error and it was cleared. It will provide a string summary of the error in the message parameter (if it is not NULL) If null is passed in as message, and it will just print the message to stderr.
• You are responsible for freeing message.
