### NAME

[](#name)

eprint -- formatted stderr printing utility functions

### SYNOPSIS

[](#synopsis)

`function eprint($msg)`

`function nprint($msg)`

`function wprint($msg)`

### DESCRIPTION

[](#description)

All functions will print a message to `STDERR` prepended with date, filename, pid and the level depending on the function used. The **eprint()** function will additionaly halt the execution with `exit(2)`. If `$msg` is passed as a multiline string, it will be indented to emphasize it's multiline nature.

### EXAMPLES

[](#examples)

the following code

```
nprint('this is a notice');
nprint('this is a dump of the $_ENV '. print_r($_ENV, true));
wprint('this should be checked sometime');
eprint('and this will stop the execution');
```

will output

```
