<H3 ID="errorhandling">6.2. CUnit Error Handling</H3>
Most CUnit functions set an error code indicating the framework
error status.  Some functions return the code, while others just
set the code and return some other value.  Two functions are
provided for examining the framework error status:
<P CLASS="indent2">
  <CITE ID="geterror">CU_ErrorCode <B>CU_get_error</B>(void)</CITE><BR />
  <CITE ID="getmsg">const char* <B>CU_get_error_msg</B>(void)</CITE>
</P>
The first returns the error code itself, while the second returns a
message describing the error status.  The error code is an
<CODE>enum</CODE> of type <CITE>CU_ErrorCode</CITE> defined in
&lt;<A HREF="headers/CUError.h">CUnit/CUError.h</A>&gt.
The following error code values are defined:

<H3 ID="erroraction">6.3. Behavior Upon Framework Errors</H3>
The default behavior when an error condition is encountered is for the
error code to be set and execution continued.  There may be times when
clients prefer for a test run to stop on a framework error, or even for
the test application to exit.  This behavior can be set by the user,
for which the following functions are provided:
<P CLASS="indent2">
  <CITE ID="setaction">void <B>CU_set_error_action</B>(CU_ErrorAction action)</CITE><BR />
  <CITE ID="getaction">CU_ErrorAction <B>CU_get_error_action</B>(void)</CITE>
</P>
The error action code is an <CODE>enum</CODE> of type <CITE>CU_ErrorAction</CITE>
defined in &lt;<A HREF="headers/CUError.h">CUnit/CUError.h</A>&gt.
The following error action codes are defined:
<P CLASS="indent5">
