<para><sgmltag>ErrorName</sgmltag> holds the symbolic name of an error.</para>
<para>DocBook provides four elements for identifying the parts of an error message:
<sgmltag>ErrorCode</sgmltag>, for the alphanumeric error code (e.g., <quote>-2</quote>);
<sgmltag>ErrorName</sgmltag>, for the symbolic name of the error
(e.g., <quote>ENOENT</quote>);
<sgmltag>ErrorText</sgmltag>, for the text of the error message (e.g., <quote>file
not found</quote>); and
<sgmltag>ErrorType</sgmltag>, for the error type (e.g., <quote>recoverable</quote>).
</para>
<para>Prior to DocBook V4.2, the <sgmltag>ErrorName</sgmltag> element was the
recommended element for error <emphasis>messages</emphasis>. However, this left no
element for symoblic names, so the <sgmltag>ErrorText</sgmltag> element was added
and the semantics of the error elements adjusted slightly.
