## xmlErrorLevel

enum xmlErrorLevel

Indicates the level of an error.

Enumerator
XML_ERR_NONE | Success.
XML_ERR_WARNING | A warning. When parsing XML, warnings are only reported to error handlers.

XML_ERR_ERROR

An error.

When parsing XML, this is used for recoverable errors like

- namespace errors
- validity errors when validating
- certain undeclared entities
- ID uniqueness and xml:id errors

Note that some recoverable errors in the sense of the XML spec are reported as warnings.

In other contexts, this may be used for unrecoverable errors.

XML_ERR_FATAL | A fatal error. When parsing XML, a "fatal error" according to the XML spec. This typically means that the document isn't well-formed. This also includes OOM and I/O errors, resource limit exhaustion, unexpected errors from other libraries and invalid argument errors.

## xmlParserErrors

enum xmlParserErrors

Error codes.

Note that only some codes are documented.

Enumerator
XML_ERR_OK | Success.
XML_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR | Internal assertion failure.
XML_ERR_NO_MEMORY | Out of memory.
XML_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ENCODING | Unsupported character encoding.
XML_ERR_RESOURCE_LIMIT | Internal resource limit like maximum amplification factor exceeded.
XML_ERR_ARGUMENT | Invalid argument.
XML_ERR_SYSTEM | Unexpected error from the OS or an external library.
XML_IO_ENOENT | File not found.

## Function Documentation

## xmlCopyError()

int xmlCopyError | ( | const xmlError * | from,
|  | xmlError * | to )

Copy an error.

Parameters

  from | a source error
  to | a target error

Returns
  0 in case of success and -1 in case of error.

## xmlCtxtGetLastError()

const xmlError * xmlCtxtGetLastError | ( | void * | ctx | ) |

Get the last error raised.

Note that the XML parser typically doesn't stop after encountering an error and will often report multiple errors. Most of the time, the last error isn't useful. Future versions might return the first parser error instead.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context

Returns
  NULL if no error occurred or a pointer to the error

## xmlCtxtResetLastError()

void xmlCtxtResetLastError | ( | void * | ctx | ) |

Reset the last parser error to success.

This does not change the well-formedness status.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context

## xmlFormatError()

void xmlFormatError | ( | const xmlError * | err,
|  | xmlGenericErrorFunc | channel,
|  | void * | data )

Report a formatted error to a printf-like callback.

This can result in a verbose multi-line report including additional information from the parser context.

Since
  2.13.0

Parameters

  err | the error
  channel | callback
  data | user data for callback

## xmlGetLastError()

const xmlError * xmlGetLastError | ( | void |  | ) |

Get the last error raised in this thread.

Returns
  a pointer to the error

## xmlParserError()

void xmlParserError | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | const char * | msg,
|  |  | ... )

This is the default SAX error handler, but it will never be called.

If it isn't replaced by the user, errors will be handled by xmlFormatError.

Deprecated
  Do not call directly.

Format an error message with additional detail from the parser context and print to generic error handler.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context
  msg | printf-like format string
  ... | arguments to format

## xmlParserPrintFileContext()

void xmlParserPrintFileContext | ( | struct _xmlParserInput * | input | ) |

Displays current context within the input content for error reporting.

Deprecated
  Use xmlFormatError.

Parameters

  input | an xmlParserInput input

## xmlParserPrintFileInfo()

void xmlParserPrintFileInfo | ( | struct _xmlParserInput * | input | ) |

Displays the associated file and line information for the current input.

Deprecated
  Use xmlFormatError.

Parameters

  input | an xmlParserInput input

## xmlParserValidityError()

void xmlParserValidityError | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | const char * | msg,
|  |  | ... )

This is the default validity error handler, but it will never be called.

If it isn't replaced by the user, errors will be handled by xmlFormatError.

Deprecated
  Do not call directly.

Format an error message with additional detail from the parser context and print to generic error handler.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context
  msg | printf-like format string
  ... | arguments to format

## xmlParserValidityWarning()

void xmlParserValidityWarning | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | const char * | msg,
|  |  | ... )

This is the default validity warning handler, but it will never be called.

If it isn't replaced by the user, warnings will be handled by xmlFormatError.

Deprecated
  Do not call directly.

Format an warning message with additional detail from the parser context and print to generic error handler.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context
  msg | printf-like format string
  ... | arguments to format

## xmlParserWarning()

void xmlParserWarning | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | const char * | msg,
|  |  | ... )

This is the default SAX warning handler, but it will never be called.

If it isn't replaced by the user, warnings will be handled by xmlFormatError.

Deprecated
  Do not call directly.

Format an warning message with additional detail from the parser context and print to generic error handler.

Parameters

  ctx | an XML parser context
  msg | printf-like format string
  ... | arguments to format

## xmlResetError()

void xmlResetError | ( | xmlError * | err | ) |

Reset the error to success.

Parameters

  err | pointer to the error

## xmlSetGenericErrorFunc()

void xmlSetGenericErrorFunc | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | xmlGenericErrorFunc | handler )

Set the thread-local "generic" handler and context for error messages.

Deprecated
  See xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc for alternatives.

If you only want to disable parser errors being printed to stderr, use xmlParserOption XML_PARSE_NOERROR.

The generic error handler will only receive fragments of error messages which should be concatenated or printed to a stream.

If handler is NULL, use the built-in default handler which prints to stderr.

Since this is a thread-local setting, it's a good idea to reset the error handler to its default value after collecting the errors you're interested in. To get the original values, you have to access xmlGenericError and xmlGenericErrorContext directly, making this function kind of useless.

For multi-threaded applications, this must be set separately for each thread.

Parameters

  ctx | the new error handling context
  handler | the new handler function

## xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc()

void xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | xmlStructuredErrorFunc | handler )

Set the thread-local "structured" handler and context for error messages.

Deprecated
  Use a per-context error handler.

If you only want to disable parser errors being printed to stderr, use xmlParserOption XML_PARSE_NOERROR.

It's recommended to use the per-context error handlers instead:

- xmlCtxtSetErrorHandler (since 2.13.0)
- xmlTextReaderSetStructuredErrorHandler
- xmlXPathSetErrorHandler (since 2.13.0)
- xmlXIncludeSetErrorHandler (since 2.13.0)
- xmlSchemaSetParserStructuredErrors
- xmlSchemaSetValidStructuredErrors
- xmlRelaxNGSetParserStructuredErrors
- xmlRelaxNGSetValidStructuredErrors

If handler is NULL, the error handler is deactivated.

The structured error handler takes precedence over "generic" handlers, even per-context generic handlers.

Since this is a thread-local setting, it's a good idea to reset the error handler to its default value after collecting the errors you're interested in. To get the original values, you have to access xmlStructuredError and xmlStructuredErrorContext directly, making this function kind of useless.

For multi-threaded applications, this must be set separately for each thread.

Parameters

  ctx | the new error handling context
  handler | the new handler function

## xmlThrDefSetGenericErrorFunc()

void xmlThrDefSetGenericErrorFunc | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | xmlGenericErrorFunc | handler )

Deprecated
  Call xmlSetGenericErrorFunc in each thread.

Parameters

  ctx | user data
  handler | error handler

## xmlThrDefSetStructuredErrorFunc()

void xmlThrDefSetStructuredErrorFunc | ( | void * | ctx,
|  | xmlStructuredErrorFunc | handler )

Set per-thread default value.

Deprecated
  Call xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc in each thread.

Parameters

  ctx | user data
  handler | error handler
