@appendix Standard Errors

  Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs,
grouped by concept.  The list includes each symbol's message (on the
@code{error-message} property of the symbol), and a cross reference to a
description of how the error can occur.

  Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property which is a
list of symbols.  Normally, this list includes the error symbol itself,
and the symbol @code{error}.  Occasionally it includes additional
symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than @code{error}
but broader than a single error symbol.  For example, all the errors
in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}.

  As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the
condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error.

  @xref{Errors}, for an explanation of how errors are generated and

@code{"End of file during parsing"}@*
This is not a @code{file-error}.@*
@xref{Input Functions}.

@item file-error
This error, and its subcategories, do not have
error-strings, because the error message is constructed from the data
items alone when the error condition @code{file-error} is present.@*
@xref{Files}.

@item file-locked     
This is a @code{file-error}.@*
@xref{File Locks}.

This is a @code{file-error}.@*

This is a @code{file-error}.@*
@xref{Buffer Modification}.
