Function Documentation

elektraErrorAddWarning()

void elektraErrorAddWarning	(	ElektraError *	error,
		ElektraError *	warning
	)

Adds a warning to an existing ElektraError struct.

If you want to report a warning without an error, create a dummy error with elektraErrorPureWarning() and then add a warning to it.

Parameters

error	The error to which warning shall be added.
warning	The warning to add. Once added it is owned by error. DO NOT call elektraErrorReset() on it afterwards.

elektraErrorConversionFromString()

ElektraError* elektraErrorConversionFromString	(	KDBType	targetType,
		const char *	keyname,
		const char *	sourceValue
	)

Creates a "Conversion from string failed" error.

Parameters

targetType	The type into which sourceValue couldn't be converted.
keyname	The name of the key that couldn't be converted.
sourceValue	The value that couldn't be converted.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorConversionToString()

ElektraError* elektraErrorConversionToString	(	KDBType	sourceType,
		const char *	keyname
	)

Creates a "Conversion to string failed" error.

Parameters

sourceType	The type which failed to be converted to string.
keyname	The name of the key that couldn't be converted.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorCreate()

ElektraError* elektraErrorCreate	(	const char *	code,
		const char *	description,
		const char *	module,
		const char *	file,
		kdb_long_t	line
	)

Creates a new ElektraError using the provided values.

The returned value will be allocated with elektraCalloc().

Parameters

code	The error code of the error. Must be compile-time constant.
description	The description of the error. Will be copied and stored in the struct.
module	The module that raised the error. Must be compile-time constant.
file	The file that raised the error. Must be compile-time constant.
line	The line in which the error was raised.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorFromKey()

ElektraError* elektraErrorFromKey

(

Key *

key

)

Extracts the error and all warnings from the given key.

If no error exists, a pure warning error will be used.

See also

elektraErrorPureWarning

Parameters

key	The to extract error and warnings from.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorKeyNotFound()

ElektraError* elektraErrorKeyNotFound

(

const char *

keyname

)

Creates a "Key not found" error.

Parameters

keyname

The name of the key that wasn't found.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorMinimalValidationFailed()

ElektraError* elektraErrorMinimalValidationFailed

(

const char *

application

)

Creates a "minimal validation failed" error.

Parameters

application

parent key as passed to elektraOpen()

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorNullError()

ElektraError* elektraErrorNullError

(

const char *

function

)

Creates a "Null error argument" error.

Parameters

function

The name of the function that was called with a null pointer error argument.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).

elektraErrorWrongType()

ElektraError* elektraErrorWrongType	(	const char *	keyname,
		KDBType	expectedType,
		KDBType	actualType
	)

Creates a "Wrong type" error.

Parameters

keyname	The name of the key that had the wrong type.
expectedType	The type that was expected.
actualType	The type that was actually found.

Returns

A newly allocated ElektraError (free with elektraErrorReset()).
