/*! @page error_handling Error handling
WiredTiger operations return a value of 0 on success and a non-zero
value on error. Error codes may be either positive or negative:
positive error codes are standard error codes as described for
POSIX-like systems (for example, EINVAL or EBUSY), negative error codes
are WiredTiger-specific (for example, WT_DEADLOCK).
WiredTiger-specific error codes always appear in the -31,800 to -31,999
range.
The following is a list of possible WiredTiger-specific errors:
@if IGNORE_BUILT_BY_API_ERR_BEGIN
@endif
@par WT_DEADLOCK
This error is generated when an operation cannot be completed due to a conflict with concurrent operations. The operation may be retried; if a transaction is in progress, it should be rolled back and the operation retried in a new transaction.
@par WT_DUPLICATE_KEY
This error is generated when the application attempts to insert a record with the same key as an existing record without the 'overwrite' configuration to WT_SESSION::open_cursor.
@par WT_ERROR
This error is returned when an error is not covered by a specific error return.
@par WT_NOTFOUND
This error indicates an operation did not find a value to return. This includes cursor search and other operations where no record matched the cursor's search key such as WT_CURSOR::update or WT_CURSOR::remove.
@par WT_PANIC
This error indicates an underlying problem that requires the application exit and restart.
@if IGNORE_BUILT_BY_API_ERR_END
@endif
The ::wiredtiger_strerror function returns the standard message
associated with any WiredTiger, ISO C99, or POSIX 1003.1-2001 function:
@snippet ex_all.c Display an error
More complex error handling can be configured by passing an implementation
of WT_EVENT_HANDLER to ::wiredtiger_open or WT_CONNECTION::open_session.
