globus_error_api — Globus Error API

— Globus Error API.  

Globus Error API.

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 '.
