Error Reporting
VS RNG routines return status codes of the performed operation to report errors to the calling program. The application should perform error-related actions and/or recover from the error. The status codes are of integer type and have the following format:
VSL_ERROR_<ERROR_NAME> - indicates VS errors common for all VS domains.
VSL_RNG_ERROR_<ERROR_NAME> - indicates VS RNG errors.
VS RNG errors are of negative values while warnings are of positive values. The status code of zero value indicates successful completion of the operation: VSL_ERROR_OK (or synonymic VSL_STATUS_OK).
