<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>
</section>
<section>
<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>
