.Overview "Error Handling"
Currently, the \f[I]lq-text\fP library uses a fairly simplistic error handling
policy that can result in calls to the system call <var>exit</var>.
The function \*[+sc]LQE_Error\*[-sc] is called with an argument indicating the
severity of the error,
combined with bitwise `or' with any of a number of flags.
.P
In addition, there are a number of wrappers for system calls that are
integrated with the error handling mechanism.
These routines perform in exactly the same way as the corresponding system
calls or library functions if there are no errors, but, in the event of an
error, call \*[+sc]LQE_Error\*[-sc] with a much clearer message than
(for example) \*[+var]perror\*[-var] would generate.
