    <p>The module <c>snmpa_error</c> contains two callback functions 
      which are called if an error occurs at different times during agent 
      operation. These functions in turn calls the corresponding function
      in the configured error report module, which implements the actual 
      report functionality.
      </p>
    <p>Two simple implementation(s) is provided with the
      toolkit; the modules 
      <seealso marker="snmpa_error_logger">snmpa_error_logger</seealso> 
      which is the default and 
      <seealso marker="snmpa_error_io">snmpa_error_io</seealso>.
      </p>
    <p>The error report module is configured using the directive 
      <c>error_report_mod</c>, see
      <seealso marker="snmp_config#configuration_params">configuration parameters</seealso>.
