Errors

Here is a list of errors generated by template parser. Some of them are used only internally by parser and are not returned by the fits_execute_template() function.

 Name                    Value   Description
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NGP_NO_MEMORY           360     malloc failed
 NGP_READ_ERR            361     read error from file
 NGP_NUL_PTR             362     null pointer passed as an argument.
                                 Passing null pointer as a name of
                                 template file raises this error
 NGP_EMPTY_CURLINE       363     line read seems to be empty (used
                                 internally)
 NGP_UNREAD_QUEUE_FULL   364     cannot unread more then 1 line (or single
                                 line twice)
 NGP_INC_NESTING         365     too deep include file nesting (infinite
                                 loop, template includes itself ?)
 NGP_ERR_FOPEN           366     fopen() failed, cannot open template file
 NGP_EOF                 367     end of file encountered and not expected
 NGP_BAD_ARG             368     bad arguments passed. Usually means
                                 internal parser error. Should not happen
 NGP_TOKEN_NOT_EXPECT    369     token not expected here
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general fits_execute_template() function tries to be as atomic as possible, so either everything is done or nothing is done. If an error occurs during parsing of the template, fits_execute_template() will (try to) delete the top level BLOCK (with all its children if any) in which the error occured, then it will stop reading the template file and it will return with an error.
