== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdljsn_jsonutil.h>`

std::ostream&
printError(
    std::ostream& stream,
    std::istream& input,
    xref:BloombergLP/bdljsn/Error.adoc[Error] const& error);
----

== Description

Print, to the specified `stream`, a description of the specified `error`, containing the line and column in the specified `input` where the `error` occurred. Return a reference to the modifiable `stream`. If `error.location()` does not refer to a valid location in `input` an unspecified error description will be written to `stream`. Note that the caller should ensure `input` refers to the same input position as when `input` was supplied to `read` (or whatever operation created `error`).

== Return Value

a reference to `stream`
