Description
The errortype element identifies a class of
error. The exact classifications are naturally going to vary by system,
but recoverable
and fatal
are two
possibilities.
DocBook provides four elements for identifying the parts of an
error message: errorcode, for the alphanumeric error
code (e.g., –2
); errorname, for the
symbolic name of the error (e.g., ENOENT
);
errortext, for the text of the error message (e.g.,
file not found
); and errortype, for
the error type (e.g., recoverable
).
