# std::error_code

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | error

Defined in header `<system_error>` |  |
class error_code; |  | (since C++11)

`std::error_code` is a platform-dependent error code. Each `std::error_code` object holds a pair of error code originating from the operating system, or some low-level interface and a pointer to an object of type std::error_category, which corresponds to the said interface. The error code values may be not unique across different error categories.

operator= | assigns another error code (public member function) [edit]
assign | assigns another error code (public member function) [edit]
##### Modifiers
