The majority of ASP API functions return a Return Code as their return value.
A zero return code (CL_OK) always indicates success. Non-zero return codes always carry two types of information, masked into one single value: a Component Identifier and an Error Code. The component identifier identifies the component (or software layer) in which the problem occurred, while the error code describes the nature of the problem. Some error codes are common across all components, while others are component specific.
The format of the return codes returned by OpenClovis APIs is 0xCCNNNN (given in hex), where 0xCC is the ASP Component Identifier and 0xNNNN is the Error Code.
- NNNN <= 00ff : common Error Codes shared among all ASP components
- NNNN > 00ff : component specific Error Codes
The following macros, defined in clCommonErrors.h, help decoding the return codes:
- Note
- Only the Error Codes are listed as Return values in the Function Documentation of the API Reference pages. The real return value also contains the Component Identifier!
