NAME
gg-error, gii-error, ggi-error : GGI error definitions

SYNOPSIS
#include <ggi/errors.h>

DESCRIPTION
GGI return code policy is usually (unless otherwise noted):
== 0 on normal completion
 > 0 when giving additional hints or returning positiv integer data
 < 0 for errors
GGI error codes are of the form GGI_* and are guaranteed to be negative (except GGI_OK of course, which is guaranteed to be zero). The following error codes are defined:
GGI_OK                  0     /* All is well */
GGI_ENOMEM            -20     /* Out of memory */
GGI_ENOFILE           -21     /* File does not exist */
GGI_ENODEVICE         -22     /* Input/Output device can not be opened */
GGI_EARGREQ           -23     /* Required argument missing */
GGI_EARGINVAL         -24     /* Invalid argument(s) */
GGI_ENOTALLOC         -25     /* Trying to use or deallocate a resource that
                                 was not previously allocated */
GGI_EFATAL            -26     /* Fatal error - the state of the target of
                                 the operation is undefined */
GGI_EBADFILE          -27     /* Error reading (config) file */
GGI_ENOSPACE          -28     /* Out of space / range */
GGI_ENOFUNC           -29     /* Function not implemented */
GGI_EBUSY             -30     /* Object is busy */
GGI_ENOTFOUND         -31     /* The requested object was not found */
GGI_EEXCLUSIVE        -32     /* Tried to get non-exclusive access to object
                                 which only supports exclusive access */
GGI_ENOMATCH          -33     /* No matching entry found */
GGI_EEVUNKNOWN        -40     /* Unknown event sent to or received from
                                 input source */
GGI_EEVNOTARGET       -41     /* No apropriate target for for sent event */
GGI_EEVOVERFLOW       -42     /* Overflow when queuing event */
GGI_EUNKNOWN          -99     /* Unknown error */
The values -1 to -19 are reserved for extensions. See their error manpage for the details.
