Hi Geoff,

If I’m not mistaken, std:[image: Confused smile]ystem_error was derived from Boost.

This being the case, you create an exception like this:

#include . . . throw system_error(errno, system_category(), “whatever message”);

AFAIK, you can also use generic_category() is you are dealing with POSIX error codes.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Leo, I actually just finally stumbled on the source comment that mentions the critical system_category that I was missing. -- Geoff
