Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs,
Here is a list of the more important error symbols in standard Emacs,
grouped by concept. The list includes each symbol's message (on the
@code{error-message} property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a
description of how the error can occur.

As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the
condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error.
@c You can grep for "(put 'foo 'error-conditions ...) to find
@c examples defined in Lisp. Eg soap-client.el, sasl.el.
Most of these error symbols are defined in C (mainly @file{data.c}),
but some are defined in Lisp. For example, the file @file{userlock.el}
defines the @code{file-locked} and @code{file-supersession} errors.
Several of the specialized Lisp libraries distributed with Emacs
define their own error symbols. We do not attempt to list of all
those here.
