--- Useful error stack objects
--
-- Many NSE library functions return a boolean status and an optional error
-- message. The Oops library consists of several simple functions to accumulate
-- these errors and pass them up the stack, resulting in a useful and verbose
-- error message when debugging.

--- Add an error message to a stack of errors

-- @param message The error message to add to the stack.
-- @param previous (Optional) Any error reported by other functions that failed.
-- @return An Oops object representing the error stack.

--- Report an error or return a good value
--
-- If the status is true, just return the message. If it's false, return the
-- message as an Oops object. This can be easily used as the final return value
-- of a script.
-- @param status The return status of the script.
-- @param message The output of the script, or an error message if status is false.
-- @return The message if status is true, or an error message if it is false.

--- Report a status and error or return values
--
-- This is intended to wrap a function that returns a status and either an
-- error or some value. If the status is false, the message is added to the
-- stack of errors. Instead of this code:
--
-- <code>
-- local status, value_or_error, value = somefunction(args)
-- if not status then
--   return status, "somefunction failed for some reason"
-- end
-- </code>
--
-- with this instead:
--
-- <code>
-- local status, value_or_error, value = oops.raise("somefunction failed", somefunction(args))
-- if not status then
--   return status, value_or_error
-- end
-- </code>
--
-- but instead of just the one error, you get a stack of errors from
-- <code>somefunction</code> with your own message at the top.
--
-- @param message The error message to report if status is false.
-- @param status The first return value of the function. Treated as boolean, but returned unmodified.
-- @param previous The second return value of the function, or error.
-- @return The same status that was input.
-- @return The rest of the return values, but on error, the message will be added to the stack.
