std::errc

enum class errc;

Generic error conditions

This enum class type defines the error conditions of the generic category.

The value of each label is the same as the value defined for the equivalent errno value.

* These are macro constants defined in header <cerrno>.

Notice that errc is defined as an enum class while the possible values of errno are macro definitions.

is_error_condition_enum is specialized for this type so its value is true.

Example

// errc example
#include <iostream>       // std::cout
#include <system_error>   // std::error_condition, std::errc, std::generic_category
#include <cerrno>         // EEXIST

int main()
{
  // two ways of creating the same error_condition:
  std::error_condition foo (std::errc::file_exists);
  std::error_condition bar (EEXIST, std::generic_category() );

  if (foo == bar) std::cout << foo.message();

  return 0;
}

Possible output:

File exists

std::errc
