To get the textual representation of an error code, several conditions must be met:

- The `__ERROR_LOOKUP_TABLE__` build flag is **not** set.
- The `__ENABLE_LOOKUP_TABLE__` build flag is set.
- The `__ENABLE_MOCANA_DEBUG_CONSOLE__` build flag is set.
- The debug console output has been set up. Use the `__MOCANA_DUMP_CONSOLE_TO_STDOUT__` build flag to send all output to `stdout`.

Once all of these have been met, get the text corresponding to an error code using the `DISPLAY_ERROR` macro:

```c
MSTATUS status = MOCANA_initMocana(void);
if (OK != status)
  DISPLAY_ERROR(STDOUT_FILENO, status);
```
