.H 4 "DESCRIPTION"
.P
Returns the number of the first system error
since the last error check.
.P
The error is cleared to NULL after Get_Error is called.
The return of any non-zero number indicates an
error has occurred.
The error table describes the meaning of the error.
.P
If an error that relates to a context occurs,
you could also access the same error by executing
a Get_Context() on CTX_ERROR.
However, clearing the CTX_ERROR does not clear
the general error of Get_Error;
the inverse applies as well:\ \&
calling Get_Error does not clear CTX_ERROR.
