| EX__BASE |
= |
64 |
|
Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of clashing with
other exit statuses that random programs may already return.
|
| EX_USAGE |
= |
64 |
|
The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with the wrong number of arguments,
a bad flag, a bad syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
|
| EX_DATAERR |
= |
65 |
|
The input data was incorrect in some way. This should only be used for
user‘s data & not system files.
|
| EX_NOINPUT |
= |
66 |
|
An input file (not a system file) did not exist or was not readable. This
could also include errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it
cared to catch it).
|
| EX_NOUSER |
= |
67 |
|
The user specified did not exist. This might be used for mail addresses or
remote logins.
|
| EX_NOHOST |
= |
68 |
|
The host specified did not exist. This is used in mail addresses or network
requests.
|
| EX_UNAVAILABLE |
= |
69 |
|
A service is unavailable. This can occur if a support program or file does
not exist. This can also be used as a catchall message when something you
wanted to do doesn‘t work, but you don‘t know why.
|
| EX_SOFTWARE |
= |
70 |
|
An internal software error has been detected. This should be limited to
non-operating system related errors as possible.
|
| EX_OSERR |
= |
71 |
|
An operating system error has been detected. This is intended to be used
for such things as "cannot fork", "cannot create pipe",
or the like. It includes things like getuid returning a user that does not
exist in the passwd file.
|
| EX_OSFILE |
= |
72 |
|
Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp, etc.) does not exist,
cannot be opened, or has some sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
|
| EX_CANTCREAT |
= |
73 |
|
A (user specified) output file cannot be created.
|
| EX_IOERR |
= |
74 |
|
An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
|
| EX_TEMPFAIL |
= |
75 |
|
temporary failure, indicating something that is not really an error. In
sendmail, this means that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
and the request should be reattempted later.
|
| EX_PROTOCOL |
= |
76 |
|
the remote system returned something that was "not possible"
during a protocol exchange.
|
| EX_NOPERM |
= |
77 |
|
You did not have sufficient permission to perform the operation. This is
not intended for file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
