namespace
boost
    {
    typedef error_info<struct errinfo_at_line_,int> errinfo_at_line;
    }

This type is designed to be used as a standard error_info instance for transporting a relevant text file line number, for example in parse error exceptions deriving from boost::exception.

Example:

#include <boost/exception/errinfo_at_line.hpp>
#include <boost/exception/errinfo_errno.hpp>
#include <boost/exception/errinfo_file_handle.hpp>
#include <boost/exception/errinfo_file_name.hpp>
#include <boost/exception/errinfo_file_open_mode.hpp>
