[;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}]}]}}
