The meaning of the codes is approximately # as follows: # # +EX_USAGE+:: 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+:: The input data was incorrect in some way. # This should only be used for user's data & not system files. # +EX_NOINPUT+:: 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+:: The user specified did not exist. This might # be used for mail addresses or remote logins. # +EX_NOHOST+:: The host specified did not exist. This is used # in mail addresses or network requests. # +EX_UNAVAILABLE+:: 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+:: An internal software error has been detected. # This should be limited to non-operating system related # errors as possible. # +EX_OSERR+:: 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+:: 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+:: A (user specified) output file cannot be created. # +EX_IOERR+:: An error occurred while doing I/O on some file. # +EX_TEMPFAIL+:: 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+:: The remote system returned something that # was "not possible" during a protocol exchange. # +EX_NOPERM+:: 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. # # == Further documentation # # See OS documentation in sysexits(3). # module SysExits # successful termination EX_OK = 0 # base value for error messages EX__BASE = 64 # command line usage error EX_USAGE = 64 # data format error EX_DATAERR = 65 # cannot open input EX_NOINPUT = 66 # addressee unknown EX_NOUSER = 67 # host name unknown EX_NOHOST = 68 # service unavailable EX_UNAVAILABLE = 69 # internal software error EX_SOFTWARE = 70 # system error (e.g., can't fork) EX_OSERR = 71 # critical OS file missing EX_OSFILE = 72 # can't create (user) output file EX_CANTCREAT = 73 # input/output error EX_IOERR = 74 # temp failure; user is invited to retry EX_TEMPFAIL = 75 # remote error in protocol EX_PROTOCOL = 76 # permission denied EX_NOPERM = 77 # configuration error EX_CONFIG = 78 # maximum listed value EX__MAX = 78 end
