Re: [Pan-devel] Getting Started with Pan Development

[Gabi Davar]

Greg,
From a quick scan of the PAN code base, I could gather that every file  
system command returns an appropriate error on failure caused by  
insuffciant disk space. Since PAN uses the g_io_* functions and g_*  
wrappers for file handling thats a good place to start.

Unfortunately, PAN uses the filesystem for many operations, so evey such  
operation need to be checked for gracious error handling - ea keep its  
previous state uncorrupted. This looks like lots of work :(
