The error number +namespace is not well managed. NSPR assumes error numbers starting at +-6000 (decimal) and progressing towards zero. At present less than 100 +error codes have been defined. If NSPR's error handling is adopted by +calling clients, then some sort of partitioning of the namespace will +have to be employed. NSPR does not attempt to address this issue. + +For NSPR errors, see `Error Codes <NSPR_Error_Handling#Error_Code>`__. |
