+    <title>Error Information From the Runtime System</title>
+    <p>Error information from the runtime system, that is, information
+      about a process terminating due to an uncaught error exception,
+      is by default written to terminal (tty):</p>
+    <code type="none"><![CDATA[
+=ERROR REPORT==== 9-Dec-2003::13:25:02 ===
+Error in process <0.27.0> with exit value: {{badmatch,[1,2,3]},[{m,f,1},{shell,eval_loop,2}]}]]></code>
+    <p>The error information is handled by the <em>error logger</em>, a
+      system process registered as <c>error_logger</c>. This process
+      receives all error messages from the Erlang runtime system and
+      also from the standard behaviours and different Erlang/OTP
+      applications.</p>
+    <p>The exit reasons (such as <c>badarg</c> above) used by
+      the runtime system are described in
+      <seealso marker="doc/reference_manual:errors#exit_reasons">Errors and Error Handling</seealso>
+      in the Erlang Reference Manual.</p>
+    <p>The process <c>error_logger</c> and its user interface (with
+      the same name) are described in
+      <seealso marker="kernel:error_logger">error_logger(3)</seealso>.
+      It is possible to configure the system so that error information
+      is written to file instead/as well as tty. Also, it is possible
+      for user defined applications to send and format error
+      information using <c>error_logger</c>.</p>

+    <title>SASL Error Logging</title>
+    <p>The standard behaviors (<c>supervisor</c>, <c>gen_server</c>,
+      etc.) sends progress and error information to <c>error_logger</c>.
+      If the SASL application is started, this information is written
+      to tty as well. See
+      <seealso marker="sasl:error_logging">SASL Error Logging</seealso>
+      in the SASL User's Guide for further information.</p>
