Detailed Description

       Helper functions for dealing with Globus Generic Error objects.

       This section defines utility functions for dealing with Globus Generic Error objects.

Function Documentation

   globus_bool_t globus_error_match (globus_object_t * error, globus_module_descriptor_t *
       module, int type)
       Check whether the error originated from a specific module and is of a specific type.

       This function checks whether the error or any of it's causative errors originated from a
       specific module and is of a specific type. If the module descriptor is left unspecified
       this function will check for any error of the specified type and vice versa.

       Parameters:
           error The error object for which to perform the check
           module The module descriptor to check for
           type The type to check for

       Returns:
           GLOBUS_TRUE - the error matched the module and type GLOBUS_FALSE - the error failed to
           match the module and type

   char* globus_error_print_chain (globus_object_t * error)
       Return a string containing all printable errors found in a error object and it's causative
       error chain.

       If the GLOBUS_ERROR_VERBOSE env is set, file, line and function info will also be printed
       (where available). Otherwise, only the module name will be printed.

       Parameters:
           error The error to print

       Returns:
           A string containing all printable errors. This string needs to be freed by the user of
           this function.

   char* globus_error_print_friendly (globus_object_t * error)
       Return a string containing error messages from the top 1 and bottom 3 objects, and, if
       found, show a friendly error message. The error chain will be searched from top to bottom
       until a friendly handler is found and a friendly message is created.

       If the GLOBUS_ERROR_VERBOSE env is set, then the result from globus_error_print_chain()
       will be used.

       Parameters:
           error The error to print

       Returns:
           A string containing a friendly error message. This string needs to be freed by the
           user of this function.
