The simple integration of aaa_error.sh file into a script, will change the
entire script behavior regarding errors. The following Bash signals will be
trapped:
- **ERR**: The ERR signal is triggered every time Bash encounters an error or
if a command return a non-zero value. The function called on that signal will
stop execution of the script, displaying an error message with error code and a
back trace to help identify the error origin. Because of this behavior, the

event occurs is a Bash internal. If an executable program receive the signal it

exit after cleanup when that signal is trapped.
