Open ERR File

ERR files have various uses, which are described below:

Error Log File

In this section, a file with an ERR format and extension is a text file that contains error messages generated by a program.

As its name indicates (ERR), the file is very common for logging errors at runtime, and the file is normally generated and written when a program is loaded, executed or closed.

The ERR file is often used by software developers when testing or profiling programs.

Due to the different formats for printing output, for example OUT and ERR files, developers may choose to redirect this output to an OUT file for normal output and ERR for error output.

In either case, the files can be cumulative, instead of being overwritten between program executions so that the history is maintained on successive executions.

AutoCAD Error Log File

In this use, similar to the previous one, the ERR file is an application log file, this time generated by AutoCAD, a CAD application used by engineers to create 3D designs.

In this section, the ERR file contains information related to a failure of the specific AutoCAD program, and may include the text of the error, the date and time the error occurred, and the name of the layout that was opened when the program was closed. unexpectedly.

The ERR file is used to diagnose and fix application problems.

An example of an ERR file in this application is acad.err, which is used to keep logs of fatal errors and internal errors.
