Globus Error API(3)						   globus common					       Globus Error API(3)

NAME
       Globus Error API -

   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:

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

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

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

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

       Notes on how to generate globus errors:

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

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

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