3431 In this example, if an error was generated in one of the prjset() functions,
3432 wcsperr() would print an error traceback starting with wcsset(), then
3433 celset(), and finally the particular projection-setting function that
3434 generated the error. For each of them it would print the status return value,
3435 function name, source file, line number, and an error message which may be
3436 more specific and informative than the general error messages reported in the
3437 first example. For example, in response to a deliberately generated error,
3438 the @c twcs test program, which tests wcserr among other things, produces a
3439 traceback similar to this:
3440 @verbatim
3441 ERROR 5 in wcsset() at line 1564 of file wcs.c:
3442  Invalid parameter value.
3443 ERROR 2 in celset() at line 196 of file cel.c:
3444  Invalid projection parameters.
3445 ERROR 2 in bonset() at line 5727 of file prj.c:
3446  Invalid parameters for Bonne's projection.
3447 @endverbatim
3448 
3449 Each of the @ref structs "structs" in @ref overview "WCSLIB" includes a
3450 pointer, called @a err, to a wcserr struct. When an error occurs, a struct is
3451 allocated and error information stored in it. The wcserr pointers and the
3452 @ref memory "memory" allocated for them are managed by the routines that
3453 manage the various structs such as wcsinit() and wcsfree().
3454 
3455 wcserr messaging is an opt-in system enabled via wcserr_enable(), as in the
3456 example above. If enabled, when an error occurs it is the user's
3457 responsibility to free the memory allocated for the error message using
3458 wcsfree(), celfree(), prjfree(), etc. Failure to do so before the struct goes
3459 out of scope will result in memory leaks (if execution continues beyond the
3460 error).
