   1 Bash stack trace and error handling functions
   2
   3 Usually, just copy the err file and source it. Then on any non-zero
   4 return code outside of a conditional, the program will exit and print a
   5 stack trace.
   6
   7 The err file has some functions which you may want to call manually for
   8 different or additional error handling. See the comments at the start of
   9 each one.
  10
  11 For scripts where functions are not used, you can optionally use a more
  12 minimal approach:
  13 set -eE -o pipefail
  14 trap 'echo "$0:$LINENO:error: \"$BASH_COMMAND\" returned $?" >&2' ERR
  15
  16 In the above line, cleanup commands or functions can be appended to the
  17 ERR trap after a semicolon within the single quotes.
