2886 In this example, if an error was generated in one of the prjset() functions,
2887 wcsperr() would print an error traceback starting with wcsset(), then
2888 celset(), and finally the particular projection-setting function that
2889 generated the error. For each of them it would print the status return value,
2890 function name, source file, line number, and an error message which may be
2891 more specific and informative than the general error messages reported in the
2892 first example. For example, in response to a deliberately generated error,
2893 the @c twcs test program, which tests wcserr among other things, produces a
2894 traceback similar to this:
2895 @verbatim
2896 ERROR 5 in wcsset() at line 1564 of file wcs.c:
2897  Invalid parameter value.
2898 ERROR 2 in celset() at line 196 of file cel.c:
2899  Invalid projection parameters.
2900 ERROR 2 in bonset() at line 5727 of file prj.c:
2901  Invalid parameters for Bonne's projection.
2902 @endverbatim
2903 
2904 Each of the @ref structs "structs" in @ref overview "WCSLIB" includes a
2905 pointer, called @a err, to a wcserr struct. When an error occurs, a struct is
2906 allocated and error information stored in it. The wcserr pointers and the
2907 @ref memory "memory" allocated for them are managed by the routines that
2908 manage the various structs such as wcsini() and wcsfree().
2909 
2910 wcserr messaging is an opt-in system enabled via wcserr_enable(), as in the
2911 example above. If enabled, when an error occurs it is the user's
2912 responsibility to free the memory allocated for the error message using
2913 wcsfree(), celfree(), prjfree(), etc. Failure to do so before the struct goes
2914 out of scope will result in memory leaks (if execution continues beyond the
2915 error).
