This is used by the +.BR liberror_free_error (3) +to determine whether the pointer +to the error shall be deallocated. +.TP +.I details_type +Used to determine which structure in the +.I details +field is used. By default, this is set to +.I LIBERROR_DETAILS_NONE +when a new error is assigned to a thread, +and the function that sets the error must +get the error it created as set this +information manually. +.TP +.I details +Extended information about the error. +.PP +The +.B liberror.h +header defines two opaque structures: +.TP +.B struct liberror_backtrace +Backtrace information for an error. +This is defined as an incomplete type, +it is a flat structure of variable size. +.TP +.B struct liberror_state +Stored error state for a thread. This +is defined as a complete type but should +be regardes as opaque. +.PP +The +.B liberror.h +header defines one enumerated type: +.BR "enum liberror_details_type" , +it is used to specify which structure in +.BR "union liberror_details" . +Its values are: +.TP +.I LIBERROR_DETAILS_NONE +None is used. There is no extended information. +.TP +.I LIBERROR_DETAILS_USER +.I user +is used. There is library- or application-defined +extended information. +.TP +.I LIBERROR_DETAILS_ONE_FILE +.I one_file +is used. There is extended information about one +file or file descriptor. +.TP +.I LIBERROR_DETAILS_TWO_FILES +.I two_files +is used. There is extended information about two +files or file descriptors. +.PP +The +.B liberror.h +header defines one union: +.BR "union liberror_details" , +it is used for extended error information. Its +member structures are: +.TP +.I user +Information defined by a library or the application. +The field +.I library +shall be set to a statically allocated string that +names the library that defines the informations. +If the application defines the information, the +application can choose freely how this field shall +be set as it will not affect other software. The +information it self shall be stored in the field +.IR data , +and the functions stored in the fields, +.IR free_data , +.IR copy_data , +and +.IR print_data , +shall deallocate, copy, and print the extended +information, respective, the value of the +.I data +field is input in these functions' first parameter. +The second parameter of the +.IR print_data +function will be the file the information shall +be printed to and the third parameter will be a +string that shall be printed at the beginning of +each printed line. Neither the second nor the +third parameter will ever be +.IR NULL . +.TP +.I one_file +Information about one file. The value of the +.I fd +field shall either be the file descriptor number +of the file given as input to the function in +which the error occured, or a negative value if +none. The value of the +.I name +field shall either be a dynamically allocated +string containing the file name or any other +identifying string, or +.I NULL +if none or if enough the string could not be +allocated. The value of the +.I role +string shall be a statically allocated string +containing the file's role in the function call, +for example \(dqDirectory\(dq for the +.BR mkdir (3) +function. +.TP +.I two_files +Information about two files. This structure is +similar to that of +.IR one_file , +with the difference that +.I two_files +have two copies of each field in +.IR one_file : +one with the +.B 1 +suffix for the first file parameter and one +with the +.B 2 +suffix for the second file parameter. +.PP +The +.B liberror.h +header defines the following functions: +.TP +.BR liberror_get_error (3) +Get the current error, if any, for the calling thread. +.TP +.BR liberror_copy_error (3) +Create a copy if an error. +.TP +.BR liberror_free_error (3) +Delete a copy if an error. +.TP +.BR liberror_reset_error (3) +Deallocate the calling thread's current error, if any, +and mark that the thread does not have any error. +.TP +.BR liberror_print_backtrace (3) +Print the backtrace for an error. Please see its man +page for more information. +.TP +.BR liberror_save_backtrace (3) +Set the backtrace for an error or the thread's next +error. Please see its man page for more information. +.TP +.BR liberror_set_error (3) +Set the error for the calling thread. +.TP +.BR liberror_set_error_errno (3) +Wrapper for +.BR liberror_set_error (3) +for errors with +.I errno +values. +.TP +.BR liberror_print_error (3) +Print an error, by default the calling thread's +current error, if any, including description, +extended information, backtrace, and cause, +recursively. Optionally deallocate the error +and clear the thread's error. +.TP +.BR liberror_start (3) +This function shall be called at the beginning +of signal handlers and other asynchronously +called functions. +.TP +.BR liberror_end (3) +This function shall be called at the end +of signal handlers and other asynchronously +called functions. +.SH EXAMPLES +None. +.SH APPLICATION USAGE +None. +.SH RATIONALE +None. +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +None. +.SH NOTES +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR liberror (7), +.BR liberror_copy_error (3), +.BR liberror_end (3), +.BR liberror_free_error (3), +.BR liberror_get_error (3), +.BR liberror_print_bactrace (3), +.BR liberror_print_error (3), +.BR liberror_reset_error (3), +.BR liberror_save_backtrace (3), +.BR liberror_set_error (3), +.BR liberror_set_error_errno (3), +.BR liberror_start (3) |
