Detailed Description

The error handling API supports checking the error status of PDI.

By default, errors in PDI C API are signaled by a return code of type PDI_status_t and an error message can be retrieved with the PDI_errmsg function. This default behavior can be changed by replacing the error handler with the PDI_errhandler function.
