errortype — The classification of an error message
errortype ::=
(text | phrase
db._phrase | replaceable
| Graphic inlines | Indexing inlines | Linking inlines | Ubiquitous inlines)*
The errortype
element identifies a class of
error. The exact classifications are naturally going to vary by system,
but “recoverable” and “fatal” are two
possibilities.
DocBook provides four elements for identifying the parts of an
error message: errorcode
, for the alphanumeric error
code (e.g., “–2”); errorname
, for the
symbolic name of the error (e.g., “ENOENT”);
errortext
, for the text of the error message (e.g.,
“file not found”); and errortype
, for
the error type (e.g., “recoverable”).
