+5.10 Enabling Nonfatal Output
+=============================
+
+This minor node describes a `gawk'-specific feature.
+
+ In standard `awk', output with `print' or `printf' to a nonexistent
+file, or some other I/O error (such as filling up the disk) is a fatal
+error.
+
+ $ gawk 'BEGIN { print "hi" > "/no/such/file" }'
+ error--> gawk: cmd. line:1: fatal: can't redirect to `/no/such/file' (No such file or directory)
+
+ `gawk' makes it possible to detect that an error has occurred,
+allowing you to possibly recover from the error, or at least print an
+error message of your choosing before exiting. You can do this in one
+of two ways:
+
+ * For all output files, by assigning any value to
+ `PROCINFO["NONFATAL"]'.
+
+ * On a per-file basis, by assigning any value to `PROCINFO[FILENAME,
+ "NONFATAL"]'. Here, FILENAME is the name of the file to which you
+ wish output to be nonfatal.
+
+ Once you have enabled nonfatal output, you must check `ERRNO' after
+every relevant `print' or `printf' statement to see if something went
+wrong. It is also a good idea to initialize `ERRNO' to zero before
+attempting the output. For example:
+
+ $ gawk '
+ > BEGIN {
+ > PROCINFO["NONFATAL"] = 1
+ > ERRNO = 0
+ > print "hi" > "/no/such/file"
+ > if (ERRNO) {
+ > print("Output failed:", ERRNO) > "/dev/stderr"
+ > exit 1
+ > }
+ > }'
+ error--> Output failed: No such file or directory
+
+ Here, `gawk' did not produce a fatal error; instead it let the `awk'
+program code detect the problem and handle it.
-5.10 Summary
+ This mechanism works also for standard output and standard error.
+For standard output, you may use `PROCINFO["-", "NONFATAL"]' or
+`PROCINFO["/dev/stdout", "NONFATAL"]'. For standard error, use
+`PROCINFO["/dev/stderr", "NONFATAL"]'.
+
+ When attempting to open a TCP/IP socket (*note TCP/IP Networking::),
+`gawk' tries multiple times. The `GAWK_SOCK_RETRIES' environment
+variable (*note Other Environment Variables::) allows you to override
+`gawk''s builtin default number of attempts. However, once nonfatal
+I/O is enabled for a given socket, `gawk' only retries once, relying on
+`awk'-level code to notice that there was a problem.
