8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * We define a specific number space so that we do not overlap with other
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * generic errors returned by various libraries. This will make it easy
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * to have functions that double check that what was returned was a SSSD
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * specific error where it matters. For example we may want to ensure some
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * particularly sensitive paths only return SSSD sepcific errors as that
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * will insure all error conditions have been explicitly dealt with,
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * and are not the result of assigning the wrong return result.
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * Basic system errno errors can still be used, but when an error condition
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * does not properly map to a system error we should use a SSSD specific one
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce/* never use ERR_INVALID, it is used for catching and returning
8bcabb97d988d1602882a1f036aac2eaf5e09234Simo Sorce * information on invalid error numbers */
