Type for error codes that can be retrieved with PR_GetError. You can also set your own errors using PR_SetError.

Syntax

#include <prerror.h>

typedef PRInt32 PRErrorCode

Description

The service NSPR offers in this area is the ability to associate a thread-specific condition with an error number. The error number namespace is not well managed. NSPR assumes error numbers starting at -6000 (decimal) and progressing towards zero. At present less than 100 error codes have been defined. If NSPR’s error handling is adopted by calling clients, then some sort of partitioning of the namespace will have to be employed. NSPR does not attempt to address this issue.

For NSPR errors, see Error Codes.
