40 * SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs.
41 *
42 * This include file attempts to categorize possible error
43 * exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail
44 * and the Berkeley network.
45 *
46 * Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of
47 * clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may
48 * already return. The meaning of the codes is approximately
49 * as follows:
50 *
51 * EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with
52 * the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad
53 * syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
54 * EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way.
55 * This should only be used for user's data & not
56 * system files.
57 * EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not
58 * exist or was not readable. This could also include
59 * errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared
60 * to catch it).
61 * EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist. This might
62 * be used for mail addresses or remote logins.
63 * EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist. This is used
64 * in mail addresses or network requests.
65 * EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can occur
66 * if a support program or file does not exist. This
67 * can also be used as a catchall message when something
68 * you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know
69 * why.
70 * EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected.
71 * This should be limited to non-operating system related
72 * errors as possible.
73 * EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
74 * This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot
75 * fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like. It includes
76 * things like getuid returning a user that does not
77 * exist in the passwd file.
78 * EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp,
79 * etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some
80 * sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
81 * EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
82 * created.
83 * EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
84 * EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
85 * is not really an error. In sendmail, this means
86 * that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
87 * and the request should be reattempted later.
88 * EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that
89 * was "not possible" during a protocol exchange.
90 * EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to
91 * perform the operation. This is not intended for
92 * file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
93 * CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
