Do you mean that I need to use xmlSetGenericErrorFunc ?
If so, I already did that, but I get a string message that I can't test.
What about the context ? Is it a way to provide an instance of an XML API
struct that can be used (initialized) by the parser or is it a way to
provide a user-defined struct that is passed in case of error ?

I inspect the source code and I see that you
are using a SAX xml parser to do the job. Do you mean that I need to use a
SAX parser and check 'errNo' in the context object as you did in the code ?
Or do you think to something else ?
