<p>This function sets the error callback, which is called with an error code and a human-readable description each time a GLFW error occurs.</p>
<p>The error callback is called on the thread where the error occurred. If you are using GLFW from multiple threads, your error callback needs to be written accordingly.</p>
<p>Because the description string may have been generated specifically for that error, it is not guaranteed to be valid after the callback has returned. If you wish to use it after the callback returns, you need to make a copy.</p>
<p>Once set, the error callback remains set even after the library has been terminated.</p>
