winapi-error

This condition class is a subclass of error. It has one slot, code, with reader winapi-error-code.

A winapi-error is signaled on Windows when there is a Windows API error. The related syscall-error is signaled on UNIX/Linux systems when there is a system error and occasionally on Windows when there is a C library error.

You might see this error, for example, when there is a problem loading a DLL:

cl-user(17): (load "foo.dll")
; Foreign loading foo.dll.
Error: loading "foo.dll" resulted in error (code 193)
  "%1 is not a valid Win32 application.".
  [condition type: winapi-error]
