AHELP for ChIPS 4.1

clear_errors

Context: sl.chips

Synopsis

Clears the ChIPS server error list.

Syntax

clear_errors;

Description

Generally, errors and warnings detected by the server are put into a buffer which the user may access. The buffer is cleared automatically at the start of most commands, so that the buffer only contains errors and warnings related to the executed command.

The clear_errors command is used to clear the ChIPS error buffer. This can be useful after calling get_errors ("ahelp get_errors") , so that a subsequent get_errors call doesn't include the old errors.

This command is part of the advanced ChIPS module; refer to "ahelp chips" for information on loading the module.

Example

chips> set_error_verbosity(3);
chips> get_errors;
chips> clear_errors;

Set the error verbosity level to 3 to print detailed information. Retrieve the error buffer, then clear the buffer.

Bugs

See the bugs pages on the ChIPS website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
