+<concept id="GUID-D542B24D-5A17-516C-85B0-66A5E8A97946" xml:lang="en"><title>Exception
+handling</title><shortdesc>Description of the functions related to Exception handling.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>When an exception occurs, such as dividing by zero or an access violation,
+what happens depends on whether the thread has an exception handler. If a
+thread has no exception handler or has an exception handler which will not
+handle the type of exception identified by the <xref href="GUID-7AF19D5F-E146-3BFA-9741-58B12D4E85A8.dita"><apiname>TExcType</apiname></xref> enumeration,
+then the exception is passed to the Kernel for handling. The default action
+is to panic the offending thread. </p>
+<p>If a thread has an exception handler, then the handler is executed in the
+context of the thread on which the exception is raised; control returns to
+the point of exception. If a thread calls <codeph>RaiseException()</codeph> and
+there is no handler for that type of exception, then a <codeph>KERN-EXEC 3</codeph> panic
+is raised. </p>
+<p>The following functions are involved in exception handling: </p>
