NAME

       globus_error_api

SYNOPSIS

   Modules
       Globus Errno Error API
       Globus Generic Error API

Detailed Description

       Intended use:

       If a function needs to return an error it should do the following:

       • External errors, such as error returns from system calls and GSSAPI errors, should be
         wrapped using the appropriate error type.

       • The wrapped external error should then be passed as the cause of a globus error.

       • External error types are expected to provide a utility function to combine the above two
         steps.

       • The globus error should then be returned from the function.

       Notes on how to generate globus errors:

       • Module specific error types should be greater or equal to 1024 (to leave some space for
         global error types).

       • You may wish to generate a mapping from error types to format strings for use in short
         descriptions.

       • You may also wish to generate a common prefix for all of the above fromat strings. The
         suggested prefix is 'Function: %s Line:
           %s '.
