 ********************************************************************************
 
 HIP provides functionality to detect, report, and manage errors that occur during the execution of HIP runtime functions or when launching kernels. Every HIP runtime function, apart from launching kernels, has `hipError_t` as return type.

+:cpp:func:`hipGetLastError()` and :cpp:func:`hipPeekAtLastError()` can be used for catching errors from kernel launches, as kernel launches don't return an error directly. HIP maintains an internal state, that includes the last error code. hipGetLastError returns and resets that error to hipSuccess, while hipPeekAtLastError just returns the error without changing it.
+To get a human readable version of the errors, :cpp:func:`hipGetErrorString()` and hipGetErrorName() can be used.
 error-checking macros, developers can ensure their HIP applications are robust,
 easier to debug, and more reliable. Proper error handling is crucial for
 identifying issues early in the development process and ensuring that
