    The function returns *result* if *returncode* is equal to 0,

    The functions which are using this function to handle errors,
    can be typically called with an *errors* parameter.
    This function can handle one of the following values: raise,
    fatal, status, exit, and ignore. The value raise is a default.

    If *kwargs* dictionary contains key ``errors``, the value is used
    to determine the behavior on error.
    The value ``errors="raise"`` is a default in which case a
    ``CalledModuleError`` exception is raised.

    For ``errors="fatal"``, the function calls :func:`fatal()`
    which has its own rules on what happens next.

    For ``errors="status"``, the *returncode* will be returned.
    This is useful, e.g., for cases when the exception-based error
    handling mechanism is not desirable or the return code has some
    meaning not necessarily interpreted as an error by the caller.

    For ``errors="exit"``, ``sys.exit()`` is called with the
    *returncode*, so it behaves similarly to a Bash script with
    ``set -e``. No additional error message or exception is produced.
    This might be useful for a simple script where error message
    produced by the called module provides sufficient information about
    what happened to the end user.

    Finally, for ``errors="ignore"``, the value of *result* will be
    passed in any case regardless of the *returncode*.
