# [ARGUMENTS](#ARGUMENTS)

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The **XtAppGetErrorDatabase** function returns the address of the error database. The Intrinsics do a lazy binding of the error database and do not merge in the database file until the first call to **XtAppGetErrorDatbaseText**.

The **XtAppGetErrorDatabaseText** returns the appropriate message from the error database or returns the specified default message if one is not found in the error database.
