36 * SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs.
37 *
38 * This include file attempts to categorize possible error
39 * exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail
40 * and the Berkeley network.
41 *
42 * Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of
43 * clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may
44 * already return. The meaning of the codes is approximately
45 * as follows:
46 *
47 * EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with
48 * the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad
49 * syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
50 * EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way.
51 * This should only be used for user's data & not
52 * system files.
53 * EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not
54 * exist or was not readable. This could also include
55 * errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared
56 * to catch it).
57 * EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist. This might
58 * be used for mail addresses or remote logins.
59 * EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist. This is used
60 * in mail addresses or network requests.
61 * EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can occur
62 * if a support program or file does not exist. This
63 * can also be used as a catchall message when something
64 * you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know
65 * why.
66 * EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected.
67 * This should be limited to non-operating system related
68 * errors as possible.
69 * EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
70 * This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot
71 * fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like. It includes
72 * things like getuid returning a user that does not
73 * exist in the passwd file.
74 * EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp,
75 * etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some
76 * sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
77 * EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
78 * created.
79 * EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
80 * EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
81 * is not really an error. In sendmail, this means
82 * that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
83 * and the request should be reattempted later.
84 * EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that
85 * was "not possible" during a protocol exchange.
86 * EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to
87 * perform the operation. This is not intended for
88 * file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
89 * CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
