DXARESULT is the return value of many Ebsotech IX™ SDK functions. The value 0 indicates success, and any other value indicates an error. In a few rare functions, an "error code" can indicate a normal situation, such as expiration of a timeout.

The error codes are listed in dxaerr.h.

The DXARESULT error codes are always positive; for negative error codes, the functions use the DXASRESULT return type.

Notice that the DXARESULT return type name should only be used for error codes in Ebsotech IX™ SDK error code value space, as defined in dxaerr.h. For your own error (return) codes, you should use your own value space, and store it in variables of different type. With this convention, you avoid confusion between different error code spaces.
