# Standard library header <system_error>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the error handling library.

### [edit] Classes

error_category (C++11) | base class for error categories (class) [edit]
generic_category (C++11) | identifies the generic error category (function) [edit]
system_category (C++11) | identifies the operating system error category (function) [edit]
error_condition (C++11) | holds a portable error code (class) [edit]
errc (C++11) | the std::error_condition enumeration listing all standard `<cerrno>` macro constants (class) [edit]
error_code (C++11) | holds a platform-dependent error code (class) [edit]
system_error (C++11) | exception class used to report conditions that have an error_code (class) [edit]
is_error_code_enum (C++11) | identifies a class as an error_code enumeration (class template) [edit]
is_error_condition_enum (C++11) | identifies an enumeration as an std::error_condition (class template) [edit]
std::hash<std::error_code> (C++11) | hash support for std::error_code (class template specialization) [edit]

### [edit] Functions

operator==operator!=operator< | compares two `error_code`s (function) [edit]
operator<< | outputs the value and the message to an output stream (function) [edit]
make_error_code(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error code (function) [edit]
operator==operator!=operator< | compares error_conditions and error_codes (function) [edit]
make_error_condition(std::errc) (C++11) | constructs an std::errc error condition (function) [edit]
