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 | |
11 @code{error-message} property of the symbol), and a cross reference to a | |
12 description of how the error can occur. | |
13 | |
14 Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property which is a | |
15 list of symbols. Normally, this list includes the error symbol itself, | |
16 and the symbol @code{error}. Occasionally it includes additional | |
17 symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than @code{error} | |
18 but broader than a single error symbol. For example, all the errors | |
19 in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}. | |
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. | |
23 | |
24 @xref{Errors}, for an explanation of how errors are generated and | |
25 handled. | |
