+# liberror
+
+Liberror is a runtime error checking library. It is used to make C programming
+a bit safer than usual, providing toggable macros that will result in computer-readable
+errors if the checks are failed.
+
+The most important macro is *LIBERROR_ASSERT*, which serves as the building block for
+other operations. If the expression evaluates to false, the error checks will be tripped
+and a runtime error will be produced. Alongside this general purpose check, there is also
+some checked math operations available.
