About:
Libgpg-error provides a library containing common error codes and text strings used across the GnuPG software suite. It standardizes error handling for applications like GPG, GPGSM, and Dirmngr, ensuring consistent diagnostic messages. This separation allows developers to implement robust error reporting without duplicating code across different cryptographic components.
Key Features:
  • Centralized error code definitions
  • Multi-language support for error strings
  • Lightweight and portable library
  • Standardized diagnostics for GnuPG components
Use Cases:
  • Developing applications that interface with GnuPG tools
  • Implementing consistent error handling in cryptographic software
  • Localizing error messages for international users
