+ * \internal The \c FUNC_ENTER macro clears the error stack whenever an
+ * interface function is entered. When an error is detected, an entry
+ * is pushed onto the stack. As the functions unwind, additional
+ * entries are pushed onto the stack. The API function will return
+ * some indication that an error occurred and the application can
+ * print the error stack.
+ *
+ * \internal Certain API functions in the \ref H5E package, such as H5Eprint(),
+ * do not clear the error stack. Otherwise, any function which does
+ * not have an underscore immediately after the package name will
+ * clear the error stack. For instance, H5Fopen() clears the error
+ * stack while \Code{H5F_open} does not.
+ *
+ * \internal An error stack has a fixed maximum size. If this size is exceeded
+ * then the stack will be truncated and only the inner-most functions
+ * will have entries on the stack. This is expected to be a rare
+ * condition.
+ *
+ * \internal Each thread has its own error stack, but since multi-threading has
+ * not been added to the library yet, this package maintains a single
+ * error stack. The error stack is statically allocated to reduce the
+ * complexity of handling errors within the \ref H5E package.
