Description-en: Operating system (e.g. diagnostics support) library (default version)
This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection.
.
The Boost System library provides simple, light-weight error_code
objects that encapsulate system-specific error code values, yet also
provide access to more abstract and portable error conditions via
error_condition objects. Because error_code objects can represent
errors from sources other than the operating system, including
user-defined sources, each error_code and error_condition has an
associated error_category.
.
This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default
Boost version (currently 1.58).
