# Rich exception object for WebAuth operations.
#
# All WebAuth APIs, including ones on some subsidiary objects, throw a
# WebAuth::Exception on any failure of the underlying WebAuth call.  This is a
# rich exception object that carries the WebAuth library error message,
# failure code, and additional information.  This Perl class defines the
# object and provides accessor methods to extract information from it.
#
# These objects are constructed in the static webauth_croak function defined
# in WebAuth.xs.  Any changes to the code here should be reflected there and
# vice versa.

=head1 NAME

WebAuth::Exception - Rich exception for errors from WebAuth API methods

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $token;
    my $wa = WebAuth->new;
    eval {
        $token = $wa->token_decode ($input);
        # ...
    };
    if ($@ && ref ($@) eq 'WebAuth::Exception') {
        my $e = $@;
        print 'status: ', $e->status, "\n";
        print 'message: ', $e->error_message, "\n";
        print 'detail: ', $e->detail_message, "\n";
        print "$e\n";
        die $e->verbose_message;
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All WebAuth methods, and most methods in WebAuth::Key, WebAuth::Keyring,
WebAuth::KeyringEntry, and WebAuth::Token::* classes, will throw an
exception on error.  Exceptions produced by the underlying C API call will
be represented by a WebAuth::Exception object.

You can use this object like you would normally use $@ and print it out or
do string comparisons with it and it will convert to the string
representation of the complete error message.  But you can also access the
structured data stored inside the exception by treating it as an object
and using the methods defined below.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item status ()

Returns the WebAuth status code for the exception, which will be one of
the WebAuth::WA_ERR_* constants.

=item error_message ()

Returns the WebAuth error message.  For most WebAuth functions, this will
consist of a generic error message followed by more detail about this
specific error in parentheses.

=item detail_message ()

Returns the "detail" message in the exception.  The detail message is
additional information created with the exception when it was raised and
is usually the name of the WebAuth C function that raised the exception.

=item verbose_message ()

Returns a verbose error message, which consists of all information
available in the exception, including the status code, error message, line
number and file, and any detail message in the exception.

=item to_string ()

This method is called if the exception is interpolated into a string.
It is a wrapper around the verbose_message method.

=item spaceship ([STRING], [SWAP])

This method is called if the exception object is compared to a string
via cmp.  It will compare the given string to the verbose error message
and return the result.  If SWAP is set, it will reverse the order to
compare the given string to the verbose error.
