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, inttype)
       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.
