/*! @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. */
