what does MP_RETURN_IF_ERROR do in google's mediapipe code?

Question

  std::string calculator_graph_config_contents; // name of string
  MP_RETURN_IF_ERROR(mediapipe::file::GetContents(
      FLAGS_calculator_graph_config_file, &calculator_graph_config_contents));
  LOG(INFO) << "Get calculator graph config contents: "
            << calculator_graph_config_contents;
  mediapipe::CalculatorGraphConfig config =
      mediapipe::ParseTextProtoOrDie<mediapipe::CalculatorGraphConfig>(
          calculator_graph_config_contents);

I have this code from the demo_run_graph_main.cc file of google's mediapipe. I an unable to understand what the MP_RETURN_IF_ERROR function does. I found no documentation which explains this either. Could someone please explain to me what it does ?
