[;1m  error(Reason)[0m

  Raises an exception of class [;;4merror[0m with the reason [;;4mReason[0m.

  As evaluating this function causes an exception to be thrown, it
  has no return value.

  The intent of the exception class [;;4merror[0m is to signal that an
  unexpected error has happened (for example, a function is called
  with a parameter that has an incorrect type). See the guide about
  errors and error handling for additional information. Example:

    > catch error(foobar).
    {'EXIT',{foobar,[{shell,apply_fun,3,
                            [{file,"shell.erl"},{line,906}]},
                     {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,677}]},
                     {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,430}]},
                     {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]},
                     {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]},
                     {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}}

[;1m  error(Reason, Args)[0m

  Raises an exception of class [;;4merror[0m with the reason [;;4mReason[0m. [;;4m[0m
  [;;4mArgs[0m is expected to be the list of arguments for the current
  function or the atom [;;4mnone[0m.

  If [;;4mArgs[0m is a list, it is used to provide the arguments for the
  current function in the stack back-trace. If it is [;;4mnone[0m, the
  arity of the calling function is used in the stacktrace. As
  evaluating this function causes an exception to be raised, it has
  no return value.

  The intent of the exception class [;;4merror[0m is to signal that an
  unexpected error has happened (for example, a function is called
  with a parameter that has an incorrect type). See the guide about
  errors and error handling for additional information. Example:

  [;;4mtest.erl[0m:

    -module(test).
    -export([example_fun/2]).
    
    example_fun(A1, A2) ->
        erlang:error(my_error, [A1, A2]).

  Erlang shell:

    6> c(test).
    {ok,test}
    7> test:example_fun(arg1,"this is the second argument").
    ** exception error: my_error
         in function  test:example_fun/2
             called as test:example_fun(arg1,"this is the second argument")

[;1m  error(Reason, Args, Options)[0m

[;;4mSince[0m:
  OTP 24.0

  Raises an exception of class [;;4merror[0m with the reason [;;4mReason[0m. [;;4m[0m
  [;;4mArgs[0m is expected to be the list of arguments for the current
  function or the atom [;;4mnone[0m.

  If [;;4mArgs[0m is a list, it is used to provide the arguments for the
  current function in the stack back-trace. If it is [;;4mnone[0m, the
  arity of the calling function is used in the stacktrace. As
  evaluating this function causes an exception to be raised, it has
  no return value.

  If the [;;4merror_info[0m option is given, the [;;4mErrorInfoMap[0m will be
  inserted into the stacktrace. The information given in the [;;4m[0m
  [;;4mErrorInfoMap[0m is to be used by error formatters such as [;;4merl_error[0m
  to provide more context around an error.

  The default [;;4mmodule[0m of the [;;4mErrorInfoMap[0m is the module that the
  call to [;;4merror/3[0m is made. The default [;;4mfunction[0m is [;;4mformat_error[0m.
  See [;;4mformat_error/2[0m for more details on how this
  Module:Function/2 is to be used

  The intent of the exception class [;;4merror[0m is to signal that an
  unexpected error has happened (for example, a function is called
  with a parameter that has an incorrect type). See the guide about
  errors and error handling for additional information.
