Abstract
This document describes the Error Message
Service, EMS, and its use in system software.
The purpose of EMS is to provide facilities for constructing and storing
error messages for future delivery to the user - usually via the Starlink
Error Reporting System, ERR (see
SUN/104).
EMS can be regarded as a simplified version of ERR without the binding to
any software environment (e.g. for message output or access to the
parameter and data systems).
The routines in this library conform to the error reporting conventions
described in SUN/104.
A knowledge of these conventions, and of the ADAM system
(see SG/4), is assumed in what follows.
This document is intended for Starlink systems programmers and can safely be
ignored by applications programmers and users.
