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