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