NAME

std::error_code - std::error_code

Synopsis

Defined in header <system_error>
class error_code; (since C++11)

std::error_code is a platform-dependent error code. Each std::error_code object
holds an error code originating from the operating system or some low-level
interface and a pointer to an object of type std::error_category, which corresponds
to the said interface. The error code values may be not unique across different
error categories.

Member functions

constructor constructs an error code
(public member function)
operator= assigns another error code
(public member function)
assign assigns another error code
(public member function)

Modifiers

clear sets the error_code to value 0 in system_category
(public member function)

Observers

value obtains the value of the error_code
(public member function)
category obtains the error_category for this error_code
(public member function)
default_error_condition obtains the error_condition for this error_code
(public member function)
message obtains the explanatory string for this error_code
(public member function)
operator bool checks if the value is non-zero
(public member function)

Non-member functions

operator==
operator!=
operator< compares two error_codes
operator<=> (function)
(removed in C++20)
(removed in C++20)
(C++20)
operator<< outputs the value and the category name to an output stream
(function)

Helper classes

is_error_code_enum identifies a class as an error_code enumeration
(C++11) (class template)
std::hash<std::error_code> hash support for std::error_code
(C++11) (class template specialization)
