How to use the nitclk.errors function in nitclk

We need to deal with a range ('0-3' or '0:3'), a list ('0,1,2,3') and a single item
    '''
    # First we deal with a list
    rep_cap_list = repeated_capability.split(',')
    if len(rep_cap_list) > 1:
        # We have a list so call ourselves again to let the iterable instance handle it
        return _convert_repeated_capabilities(rep_cap_list, prefix)

    # Now we deal with ranges
    # We remove any prefix and change ':' to '-'
    r = repeated_capability.strip().replace(prefix, '').replace(':', '-')
    rc = r.split('-')
    if len(rc) > 1:
        if len(rc) > 2:
            raise errors.InvalidRepeatedCapabilityError("Multiple '-' or ':'", repeated_capability)
        start = int(rc[0])
        end = int(rc[1])
        if end < start:
            rng = range(start, end - 1, -1)
        else:
            rng = range(start, end + 1)
        return _convert_repeated_capabilities(rng, prefix)

    # If we made it here, it must be a simple item so we remove any prefix and return
    return [repeated_capability.replace(prefix, '').strip()]

Returns:
            error_string (str): Extended error description. If errorString is NULL, then it is not large
                enough to hold the entire error description. In this case, the return
                value of _get_extended_error_info is the size that you should use
                for _get_extended_error_info to return the full error string.

        complete within a certain time.
