sin-ack e5f09ea170 Everywhere: Split Error::from_string_literal and Error::from_string_view
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.

No functional changes.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:

... and all of the above are right in this repository, no extra dependencies, built from-scratch by us :^)

Additionally, there are over two hundred ports of popular open-source software, including games, compilers, Unix tools, multimedia apps and more.

How do I read the documentation?

Man pages are available online at man.serenityos.org. These pages are generated from the Markdown source files in Base/usr/share/man and updated automatically.

When running SerenityOS you can use man for the terminal interface, or help for the GUI.

Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.

How do I build and run this?

See the SerenityOS build instructions. Serenity runs on Linux, macOS (aarch64 might be a challenge), Windows (with WSL2) and many other *Nixes with hardware or software virtualization.
