1.1 Error Handling

(struct (exn:fail:apr exn:fail) (status)
  #:transparent)
  status : exact-integer?

Exception type raised by failing APR procedures. The status fields contains the error code returned from APR.

(check-error source status)  any
  source : any/c
  status : exact-integer?

Checks whether the given APR status code represents success. If it doesn’t, the procedure decodes the status into an error message, prepends the source information to it and raises a new exception of type exn:fail:apr.

This procedure is unsafe, since passing arbitrary error codes may result in unspecified behaviour.
