Sometimes it is necessary to re-throw a signal caught by
|
||||
@code{condition-case}, for some outer-level handler to catch. Here's
|

how to do that:

@smallexample
|

(signal (car err) (cdr err))
|
||||
@end smallexample
|
||||
|

@noindent
|

where @code{err} is the error description variable, the first argument
|
||||
to @code{condition-case} whose error condition you want to re-throw.
