error_handler.func Usage Examples

Overview

This document provides practical usage examples for error_handler.func functions, covering common scenarios, integration patterns, and best practices.

Basic Error Handling Setup

Standard Script Initialization

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Standard error handling setup

# Source error handler
source error_handler.func

# Initialize error handling
catch_errors

# Your script code here
# All errors will be automatically caught and handled
echo "Script running..."
apt-get update
apt-get install -y package
echo "Script completed successfully"

Minimal Error Handling

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Minimal error handling setup

source error_handler.func
catch_errors

# Simple script with error handling
echo "Starting operation..."
command_that_might_fail
echo "Operation completed"

Error Code Explanation Examples

Basic Error Explanation

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source error_handler.func

# Explain common error codes
echo "Error 1: $(explain_exit_code 1)"
echo "Error 127: $(explain_exit_code 127)"
echo "Error 130: $(explain_exit_code 130)"
echo "Error 200: $(explain_exit_code 200)"

Error Code Testing

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source error_handler.func

# Test all error codes
test_error_codes() {
    local codes=(1 2 126 127 128 130 137 139 143 100 101 255 200 203 204 205)

    for code in "${codes[@]}"; do
        echo "Code $code: $(explain_exit_code $code)"
    done
}

Custom Error Code Usage

#!/usr/bin/env bash
source error_handler.func

# Use custom error codes
check_requirements() {
    if [[ ! -f /required/file ]]; then
        echo "Error: Required file missing"
        exit 200  # Custom error code
    fi

    if [[ -z "$CTID" ]]; then
        echo "Error: CTID not set"
        exit 203  # Custom error code
    fi

    if [[ $CTID -lt 100 ]]; then
        echo "Error: Invalid CTID"
        exit 205  # Custom error code
