## Detailed Description

The **SoReadError** class is used during model import operations.

During model file import, this class will be used to output any error or warning messages.

Depending on your application, setting up your own error handler callbacks for **SoReadError** might be a good idea.

## Member Function Documentation

### void SoReadError::setHandlerCallback (SoErrorCB \*const function, void \*const data) \[static\]

This method sets the error handler callback for messages posted via this class.

Note that this will not override the error/debug message handler for subclasses, these will have to be overridden by calling the subclass' **setHandlerCallback()** method.

**See also**

**defaultHandlerCB()**

### SoErrorCB \* SoReadError::getHandlerCallback (void ) \[static\]

Returns the error handler callback for messages posted via this class.

### void \* SoReadError::getHandlerData (void ) \[static\]

This method returns the pointer used for passing data back to the callback handler method.

### SoType SoReadError::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\]

This static method returns the **SoType** for this class.

**See also**

**getTypeId()**

### SoType SoReadError::getTypeId (void ) const \[virtual\]

This method returns the **SoType** of a particular object instance.

**See also**

**getClassTypeId()**

Reimplemented from **SoError**.

### void SoReadError::post (const SoInput \*const in, const char \*const format, ...) \[static\]

Method used from import code to post error or warning messages for model files which are not 100% compliant to the format specification.

The messages will be wrapped within information on line number, file offset etc.

### SoErrorCB \* SoReadError::getHandler (void \*& data) const \[protected\], \[virtual\]

This is just a convenience wrapper around the **getHandlerCallback()** and **getHandlerData()** methods.

Reimplemented from **SoError**.
