% \section{Introduction}
%    When \LaTeXe{} is unable to find a file it will ask for an
%    alternative file name. However, sometimes the problem is
%    only noticed by \TeX{}, and in that case \TeX{} insists on
%    getting a valid file name; any other attempt to leave this
%    error loop will fail.\footnote{On some systems, \TeX{}
%    accepts a special character denoting the end of file to
%    return from this loop, e.g.\ Control-D on UNIX or Control-Z
%    on DOS.} Many users try to respond in the same way as to
%    normal error messages, e.g.\ by typing \meta{return}, or |s|
%    or |x|, but \TeX{} will interpret this as a file name and
%    will ask again.
%    \par To provide a graceful exit out of this loop, we define
%    a number of files which emulate the normal behavior of
%    \TeX{} in the error loop as far as possible.
%    \par After installing these files the user can respond with
%    |h|,  |q|, |r|, |s|, |e|, |x|, and on some systems also with
%    \meta{return} to \TeX's missing file name question.

% \section{The documentation driver}
%    This code will generate the documentation. Since it is the
%    first piece of code in the file, the documentation can be
%    obtained by simply processing this file with \LaTeXe.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*driver>
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\begin{document} \DocInput{fileerr.dtx}  \end{document}
%</driver>
%    \end{macrocode}
% \section{The files}
%
% \subsection{Asking for help with {\tt h}}
%    When the user types |h| in the file error loop \TeX{} will
%    look for the file |h.tex|. In this file we put a message
%    informing the user about the situation (we use |^^J| to
%    start new lines in the message) and then finish with a
%    normal |\errmessage| command thereby bringing up \TeX's
%    normal error mechanism.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*help>
\newlinechar=`\^^J
\message{!The file name provided could not be found.^^J%
Use `<enter>' to continue processing,^^J%
`S' to scroll  future errors^^J%
`R' to run without stopping,^^J%
`Q' to run quietly,^^J%
or `X' to terminate TeX}
\errmessage{}
%</help>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Scrolling this and further errors with {\tt s}}
%    For the response |s| we put a message into the file |s.tex|
%    and start |\scrollmode| to scroll further error messages in
%    this run.  On systems that allow |.tex| as a file name we
%    can also trap a single \meta{return} from the user.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<+scroll|return|run,batch> \message{File ignored}
%<+scroll>            \scrollmode
%<+run>               \nonstopmode
%<+batch>             \batchmode
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Exiting the run with {\tt x} or {\tt e}}
%    If the user enters |x| or |e| to stop \TeX{}, we need to
%    put something into the corresponding file which will force
%    \TeX{} to give up.  We achieve this by turning off terminal
%    output and then asking \TeX{} to stop: first by using the
%    internal \LaTeX{} name |\@@end|, and if that doesn't work
%    because something other than \LaTeX{} is used, by trying the
%    \TeX{} primitive |\end|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<+edit|exit>  \batchmode \csname @@end\endcsname \end
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We end every file with an explicit |\endinput| which prevents
%    the docstrip program from putting the character table into
%    the generated files.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\endinput
%    \end{macrocode}
