exception Gsl_exn of errno * string

Error.Gsl_exn is raised by GSL to indicate an error. The second argument gives the reason for the error.

val init : unit -> unit

Error.init () sets up the GSL error handler so that the OCaml function Error.handler gets called in case of an error. This behavior is the default now.

val uninit : unit -> unit

Error.uninit () reverts the GSL error handler to the default of the GSL C-library. The default GSL error simply aborts the program.

val handler : (errno -> string -> unit) ref

The OCaml handler for GSL errors. Initially set to Error.default_handler. If the function returns, the error is ignored and execution of the GSL function continues.

Redefine it so as to ignore some particular errors (EOVRFLW or EUNDRFLW for instance).

val default_handler : errno -> string -> 'a

The default OCaml handler for GSL errors. It simply raises the Error.Gsl_exn exception.

val strerror : errno -> string

strerror e returns a description of the error e.

val string_of_errno : errno -> string

string_of_errno e returns the name of e.

val printer : exn -> string option

printer exn is an exception printer for exn. It is registered by default with Printexc.
