/**

 * @ingroup globus_common
 *
 * Intended use:
 *
 * If a function needs to return an error it should do the following:
 *
 * - External errors, such as error returns from system calls and
 *   GSSAPI errors, should be wrapped using the appropriate error
 *   type.
 * - The wrapped external error should then be passed as the cause of
 *   a globus error.
 * - External error types are expected to provide a utility function
 *   to combine the above two steps.
 * - The globus error should then be returned from the function.
 *
 * Notes on how to generate globus errors:
 *
 * - Module specific error types should be greater or equal to 1024
 *   (to leave some space for global error types).
 * - You may wish to generate a mapping from error types to format
 *   strings for use in short descriptions.
 * - You may also wish to generate a common prefix for all of the
 *   above fromat strings. The suggested prefix is "Function: %s Line:
 *   %s ".

/**

 *
 * These globus_error functions are motivated by the desire to provide
 * a easier way of generating new error types, while at the same time
 * preserving all features (e.g. memory management, chaining) of the
 * current error handling framework. It does this by defining a
 * generic error type for globus which in turn contains a integer in
 * it's instance data which is used for carrying the actual error type
 * information.
 *
 * Any program that uses Globus Generic Error functions must include
 * "globus_common.h".
