 * @brief This group discusses the functions that provide error management for projects.
 *
 * The Eina error module provides a way to manage errors in a simple but
 * powerful way in libraries and modules. It is also used in Eina itself.
 * Similar to libC's @c errno and strerror() facilities, this is extensible and
 * recommended for other libraries and applications as well.
