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