-
-  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 that 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}.  If
-we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error
-conditions, that means it has none.
-
-  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
-handled.
