# Standard library header <system_error>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the error handling library.

### Classes

error_category (C++11) | base class for error categories (class)
generic_category (C++11) | identifies the generic error category (function)
system_category (C++11) | identifies the operating system error category (function)
error_condition (C++11) | holds a portable error code (class)
errc (C++11) | the std::error_condition enumeration listing all standard `<cerrno>` macro constants (class)
error_code (C++11) | holds a platform-dependent error code (class)
system_error (C++11) | exception class used to report conditions that have an error_code (class)
is_error_code_enum (C++11) | identifies a class as an error_code enumeration (class template)
is_error_condition_enum (C++11) | identifies an enumeration as an std::error_condition (class template)
std::hash<std::error_code> (C++11) | hash support for std::error_code (class template specialization)

### Functions

operator==operator!=operator< | compares two `error_code`s (function)
operator<< | outputs the value and the category name to an output stream (function)
make_error_code(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error code (function)
operator==operator!=operator< | compares error_conditions and error_codes (function)
make_error_condition(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error condition (function)
