9 Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs, | |
10 grouped by concept. The list includes each symbol's message (on the | |
7600 | 11 @code{error-message} property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a |
2899 | 12 description of how the error can occur. |
13 | |
7600 | 14 Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property that is a |
15 list of symbols. Normally this list includes the error symbol itself | |
2899 | 16 and the symbol @code{error}. Occasionally it includes additional |
7600 | 17 symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than |
18 @code{error} but broader than a single error symbol. For example, all | |
19 the errors in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}. | |
2899 | 20 |
21 As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the | |
22 condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error. | |

25 handled. | |
