Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs,
grouped by concept. The list includes each symbol's message (on the
error-message property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a
description of how the error can occur.
Each error symbol has an error-conditions property that is a
list of symbols. Normally this list includes the error symbol itself
and the symbol error. Occasionally it includes additional
symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than
error but broader than a single error symbol. For example, all
the errors in accessing files have the condition file-error. If
we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error
conditions, that means it has none.
As a special exception, the error symbol quit does not have the
condition error, because quitting is not considered an error.
See section 10.5.3 Errors, for an explanation of how errors are generated and handled.
symbol
error
"error"
quit

end-of-buffer
"End of buffer"
end-of-file

because it pertains to the Lisp reader, not to file I/O.
See section 19.3 Input Functions.
