    NAME

    
    
    intro
    
     - introduction to system calls and error numbers
    
     
    

    LIBRARY

    Lb libc
    
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

       #include <errno.h>
     

    DESCRIPTION

    This section provides an overview of the system calls, their error returns, and other common definitions and concepts.  

    RETURN VALUES

    Nearly all of the system calls provide an error number referenced via the external identifier errno. This identifier is defined in    #include <sys/errno.h>
    as

    extern int * __error();
    #define errno (* __error())

    The __error() function returns a pointer to a field in the thread specific structure for threads other than the initial thread. For the initial thread and non-threaded processes, __error() returns a pointer to a global errno variable that is compatible with the previous definition.

    When a system call detects an error, it returns an integer value indicating failure (usually -1) and sets the variable errno accordingly. (This allows interpretation of the failure on receiving a -1 and to take action accordingly.) Successful calls never set errno once set, it remains until another error occurs. It should only be examined after an error. Note that a number of system calls overload the meanings of these error numbers, and that the meanings must be interpreted according to the type and circumstances of the call.

    The following is a complete list of the errors and their names as given in In sys/errno.h .

    Er 0 Undefined error: 0
    Not used.
    Er 1 EPERM Operation not permitted
    An attempt was made to perform an operation limited to processes with appropriate privileges or to the owner of a file or other resources.
    Er 2 ENOENT such file or directory
    A component of a specified pathname did not exist, or the pathname was an empty string.
    Er 3 ESRCH such process
    No process could be found corresponding to that specified by the given process ID.
    Er 4 EINTR Interrupted system call
    An asynchronous signal (such as SIGINT or SIGQUIT was caught by the process during the execution of an interruptible function. If the signal handler performs a normal return, the interrupted system call will seem to have returned the error condition.
    Er 5 EIO Input/output error
    Some physical input or output error occurred. This error will not be reported until a subsequent operation on the same file descriptor and may be lost (over written) by any subsequent errors.
    Er 6 ENXIO Device not configured
    Input or output on a special file referred to a device that did not exist, or made a request beyond the limits of the device. This error may also occur when, for example, a tape drive is not online or no disk pack is loaded on a drive.
    Er 7 E2BIG Argument list too long
    The number of bytes used for the argument and environment list of the new process exceeded the current limit ( NCARGS in In sys/param.h ) .
    Er 8 ENOEXEC Exec format error
    A request was made to execute a file that, although it has the appropriate permissions, was not in the format required for an executable file.
    Er 9 EBADF Bad file descriptor
    A file descriptor argument was out of range, referred to no open file, or a read (write) request was made to a file that was only open for writing (reading).

    Er 10 ECHILD child processes
    A wait(2) or waitpid(2) function was executed by a process that had no existing or unwaited-for child processes.
    Er 11 EDEADLK Resource deadlock avoided
    An attempt was made to lock a system resource that would have resulted in a deadlock situation.
    Er 12 ENOMEM Cannot allocate memory
    The new process image required more memory than was allowed by the hardware or by system-imposed memory management constraints. A lack of swap space is normally temporary; however, a lack of core is not. Soft limits may be increased to their corresponding hard limits.
    Er 13 EACCES Permission denied
    An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access permissions.
    Er 14 EFAULT Bad address
    The system detected an invalid address in attempting to use an argument of a call.
    Er 15 ENOTBLK Block device required
    A block device operation was attempted on a non-block device or file.
    Er 16 EBUSY Device busy
    An attempt to use a system resource which was in use at the time in a manner which would have conflicted with the request.
    Er 17 EEXIST File exists
    An existing file was mentioned in an inappropriate context, for instance, as the new link name in a link(2) system call.
    Er 18 EXDEV Cross-device link
    A hard link to a file on another file system was attempted.
    Er 19 ENODEV Operation not supported by device
    An attempt was made to apply an inappropriate function to a device, for example, trying to read a write-only device such as a printer.
    Er 20 ENOTDIR Not a directory
    A component of the specified pathname existed, but it was not a directory, when a directory was expected.
    Er 21 EISDIR Is a directory
    An attempt was made to open a directory with write mode specified.
    Er 22 EINVAL Invalid argument
    Some invalid argument was supplied. (For example, specifying an undefined signal to a signal(3) function or a kill(2) system call).
    Er 23 ENFILE Too many open files in system
    Maximum number of file descriptors allowable on the system has been reached and a requests for an open cannot be satisfied until at least one has been closed.
    Er 24 EMFILE Too many open files
    (As released, the limit on the number of open files per process is 64.) The getdtablesize(2) system call will obtain the current limit.
    Er 25 ENOTTY Inappropriate ioctl for device
    A control function (see ioctl(2)) was attempted for a file or special device for which the operation was inappropriate.
    Er 26 ETXTBSY Text file busy
    The new process was a pure procedure (shared text) file which was open for writing by another process, or while the pure procedure file was being executed an open(2) call requested write access.
    Er 27 EFBIG File too large
    The size of a file exceeded the maximum.
    Er 28 ENOSPC space left on device
    A write(2) to an ordinary file, the creation of a directory or symbolic link, or the creation of a directory entry failed because no more disk blocks were available on the file system, or the allocation of an inode for a newly created file failed because no more inodes were available on the file system.
    Er 29 ESPIPE Illegal seek
    An lseek(2) system call was issued on a socket, pipe or FIFO
    Er 30 EROFS Read-only file system
    An attempt was made to modify a file or directory on a file system that was read-only at the time.
    Er 31 EMLINK Too many links
    Maximum allowable hard links to a single file has been exceeded (limit of 32767 hard links per file).
    Er 32 EPIPE Broken pipe
    A write on a pipe, socket or FIFO for which there is no process to read the data.
    Er 33 EDOM Numerical argument out of domain
    A numerical input argument was outside the defined domain of the mathematical function.
    Er 34 ERANGE Result too large
    A numerical result of the function was too large to fit in the available space (perhaps exceeded precision).
    Er 35 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
    This is a temporary condition and later calls to the same routine may complete normally.
    Er 36 EINPROGRESS Operation now in progress
    An operation that takes a long time to complete (such as a connect(2)) was attempted on a non-blocking object (see fcntl(2)).
    Er 37 EALREADY Operation already in progress
    An operation was attempted on a non-blocking object that already had an operation in progress.
    Er 38 ENOTSOCK Socket operation on non-socket
    Self-explanatory.
    Er 39 EDESTADDRREQ Destination address required
    A required address was omitted from an operation on a socket.
    Er 40 EMSGSIZE Message too long
    A message sent on a socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit.
    Er 41 EPROTOTYPE Protocol wrong type for socket
    A protocol was specified that does not support the semantics of the socket type requested. For example, you cannot use the ARPA Internet UDP protocol with type SOCK_STREAM
    Er 42 ENOPROTOOPT Protocol not available
    A bad option or level was specified in a getsockopt(2) or setsockopt(2) call.
    Er 43 EPROTONOSUPPORT Protocol not supported
    The protocol has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists.
    Er 44 ESOCKTNOSUPPORT Socket type not supported
    The support for the socket type has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists.
    Er 45 EOPNOTSUPP Operation not supported
    The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced. Usually this occurs when a file descriptor refers to a file or socket that cannot support this operation, for example, trying to accept a connection on a datagram socket.
    Er 46 EPFNOSUPPORT Protocol family not supported
    The protocol family has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists.
    Er 47 EAFNOSUPPORT Address family not supported by protocol family
    An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. For example, you should not necessarily expect to be able to use NS addresses with ARPA Internet protocols.
    Er 48 EADDRINUSE Address already in use
    Only one usage of each address is normally permitted.

    Er 49 EADDRNOTAVAIL Cannot assign requested address
    Normally results from an attempt to create a socket with an address not on this machine.
    Er 50 ENETDOWN Network is down
    A socket operation encountered a dead network.
    Er 51 ENETUNREACH Network is unreachable
    A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network.
    Er 52 ENETRESET Network dropped connection on reset
    The host you were connected to crashed and rebooted.
    Er 53 ECONNABORTED Software caused connection abort
    A connection abort was caused internal to your host machine.
    Er 54 ECONNRESET Connection reset by peer
    A connection was forcibly closed by a peer. This normally results from a loss of the connection on the remote socket due to a timeout or a reboot.
    Er 55 ENOBUFS buffer space available
    An operation on a socket or pipe was not performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full.
    Er 56 EISCONN Socket is already connected
    A connect(2) request was made on an already connected socket; or, a sendto(2) or sendmsg(2) request on a connected socket specified a destination when already connected.
    Er 57 ENOTCONN Socket is not connected
    An request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket was not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket) no address was supplied.
    Er 58 ESHUTDOWN Cannot send after socket shutdown
    A request to send data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut down with a previous shutdown(2) call.
    Er 60 ETIMEDOUT Operation timed out
    A connect(2) or send(2) request failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time. (The timeout period is dependent on the communication protocol.)
    Er 61 ECONNREFUSED Connection refused
    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host.
    Er 62 ELOOP Too many levels of symbolic links
    A path name lookup involved more than 32 (MAXSYMLINKS ) symbolic links.
    Er 63 ENAMETOOLONG File name too long
    A component of a path name exceeded Br q Dv NAME_MAX characters, or an entire path name exceeded Br q Dv PATH_MAX characters. (See also the description of _PC_NO_TRUNC in pathconf(2).)
    Er 64 EHOSTDOWN Host is down
    A socket operation failed because the destination host was down.
    Er 65 EHOSTUNREACH route to host
    A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host.
    Er 66 ENOTEMPTY Directory not empty
    A directory with entries other than `.' and `..' was supplied to a remove directory or rename call.
    Er 67 EPROCLIM Too many processes
    Er 68 EUSERS Too many users
    The quota system ran out of table entries.
    Er 69 EDQUOT Disc quota exceeded
    A write(2) to an ordinary file, the creation of a directory or symbolic link, or the creation of a directory entry failed because the user's quota of disk blocks was exhausted, or the allocation of an inode for a newly created file failed because the user's quota of inodes was exhausted.
    Er 70 ESTALE Stale NFS file handle
    An attempt was made to access an open file (on an NFS file system) which is now unavailable as referenced by the file descriptor. This may indicate the file was deleted on the NFS server or some other catastrophic event occurred.
    Er 72 EBADRPC RPC struct is bad
    Exchange of RPC information was unsuccessful.
    Er 73 ERPCMISMATCH RPC version wrong
    The version of RPC on the remote peer is not compatible with the local version.
    Er 74 EPROGUNAVAIL RPC prog. not avail
    The requested program is not registered on the remote host.
    Er 75 EPROGMISMATCH Program version wrong
    The requested version of the program is not available on the remote host (RPC )
    Er 76 EPROCUNAVAIL Bad procedure for program
    An RPC call was attempted for a procedure which does not exist in the remote program.
    Er 77 ENOLCK locks available
    A system-imposed limit on the number of simultaneous file locks was reached.
    Er 78 ENOSYS Function not implemented
    Attempted a system call that is not available on this system.
    Er 79 EFTYPE Inappropriate file type or format
    The file was the wrong type for the operation, or a data file had the wrong format.
    Er 80 EAUTH Authentication error
    Attempted to use an invalid authentication ticket to mount a NFS file system.
    Er 81 ENEEDAUTH Need authenticator
    An authentication ticket must be obtained before the given NFS file system may be mounted.
    Er 82 EIDRM Identifier removed
    An IPC identifier was removed while the current process was waiting on it.
    Er 83 ENOMSG message of desired type
    An IPC message queue does not contain a message of the desired type, or a message catalog does not contain the requested message.
    Er 84 EOVERFLOW Value too large to be stored in data type
    A numerical result of the function was too large to be stored in the caller provided space.
    Er 85 ECANCELED Operation canceled
    The scheduled operation was canceled.
    Er 86 EILSEQ Illegal byte sequence
    While decoding a multibyte character the function came along an invalid or an incomplete sequence of bytes or the given wide character is invalid.
    Er 87 ENOATTR Attribute not found
    The specified extended attribute does not exist.
    Er 88 EDOOFUS Programming error
    A function or API is being abused in a way which could only be detected at run-time.

     

    DEFINITIONS

    Process ID
    Each active process in the system is uniquely identified by a non-negative integer called a process ID. The range of this ID is from 0 to 99999.
    Parent process ID
    A new process is created by a currently active process (see fork(2)). The parent process ID of a process is initially the process ID of its creator. If the creating process exits, the parent process ID of each child is set to the ID of a system process, init(8).
    Process Group
    Each active process is a member of a process group that is identified by a non-negative integer called the process group ID. This is the process ID of the group leader. This grouping permits the signaling of related processes (see termios(4)) and the job control mechanisms of csh(1).
    Session
    A session is a set of one or more process groups. A session is created by a successful call to setsid(2), which causes the caller to become the only member of the only process group in the new session.
    Session leader
    A process that has created a new session by a successful call to setsid(2), is known as a session leader. Only a session leader may acquire a terminal as its controlling terminal (see termios(4)).
    Controlling process
    A session leader with a controlling terminal is a controlling process.
    Controlling terminal
    A terminal that is associated with a session is known as the controlling terminal for that session and its members.
    "Terminal Process Group ID"
    A terminal may be acquired by a session leader as its controlling terminal. Once a terminal is associated with a session, any of the process groups within the session may be placed into the foreground by setting the terminal process group ID to the ID of the process group. This facility is used to arbitrate between multiple jobs contending for the same terminal; (see csh(1) and tty(4)).
    "Orphaned Process Group"
    A process group is considered to be orphaned if it is not under the control of a job control shell. More precisely, a process group is orphaned when none of its members has a parent process that is in the same session as the group, but is in a different process group. Note that when a process exits, the parent process for its children is changed to be init(8), which is in a separate session. Not all members of an orphaned process group are necessarily orphaned processes (those whose creating process has exited). The process group of a session leader is orphaned by definition.
    "Real User ID and Real Group ID"
    Each user on the system is identified by a positive integer termed the real user ID.

    Each user is also a member of one or more groups. One of these groups is distinguished from others and used in implementing accounting facilities. The positive integer corresponding to this distinguished group is termed the real group ID.

    All processes have a real user ID and real group ID. These are initialized from the equivalent attributes of the process that created it.

    "Effective User Id, Effective Group Id, and Group Access List"
    Access to system resources is governed by two values: the effective user ID, and the group access list. The first member of the group access list is also known as the effective group ID. (In POSIX.1, the group access list is known as the set of supplementary group IDs, and it is unspecified whether the effective group ID is a member of the list.)

    The effective user ID and effective group ID are initially the process's real user ID and real group ID respectively. Either may be modified through execution of a set-user-ID or set-group-ID file (possibly by one its ancestors) (see execve(2)). By convention, the effective group ID (the first member of the group access list) is duplicated, so that the execution of a set-group-ID program does not result in the loss of the original (real) group ID.

    The group access list is a set of group IDs used only in determining resource accessibility. Access checks are performed as described below in ``File Access Permissions''.

    "Saved Set User ID and Saved Set Group ID"
    When a process executes a new file, the effective user ID is set to the owner of the file if the file is set-user-ID, and the effective group ID (first element of the group access list) is set to the group of the file if the file is set-group-ID. The effective user ID of the process is then recorded as the saved set-user-ID, and the effective group ID of the process is recorded as the saved set-group-ID. These values may be used to regain those values as the effective user or group ID after reverting to the real ID (see setuid(2)). (In POSIX.1, the saved set-user-ID and saved set-group-ID are optional, and are used in setuid and setgid, but this does not work as desired for the super-user.)
    Super-user
    A process is recognized as a super-user process and is granted special privileges if its effective user ID is 0.
    Descriptor
    An integer assigned by the system when a file is referenced by open(2) or dup(2), or when a socket is created by pipe(2), socket(2) or socketpair(2), which uniquely identifies an access path to that file or socket from a given process or any of its children.
    File Name
    Names consisting of up to Br q Dv NAME_MAX characters may be used to name an ordinary file, special file, or directory.

    These characters may be arbitrary eight-bit values, excluding NUL ( ASCII 0) and the `/' character (slash, ASCII 47).

    Note that it is generally unwise to use `*' , `?' , `[' or `]' as part of file names because of the special meaning attached to these characters by the shell.

    Path Name
    A path name is a NUL -terminated character string starting with an optional slash `/' , followed by zero or more directory names separated by slashes, optionally followed by a file name. The total length of a path name must be less than Br q Dv PATH_MAX characters. (On some systems, this limit may be infinite.)

    If a path name begins with a slash, the path search begins at the root directory. Otherwise, the search begins from the current working directory. A slash by itself names the root directory. An empty pathname refers to the current directory.

    Directory
    A directory is a special type of file that contains entries that are references to other files. Directory entries are called links. By convention, a directory contains at least two links, `.' and `..' , referred to as dot and dot-dot respectively. Dot refers to the directory itself and dot-dot refers to its parent directory.
    "Root Directory and Current Working Directory"
    Each process has associated with it a concept of a root directory and a current working directory for the purpose of resolving path name searches. A process's root directory need not be the root directory of the root file system.
    File Access Permissions
    Every file in the file system has a set of access permissions. These permissions are used in determining whether a process may perform a requested operation on the file (such as opening a file for writing). Access permissions are established at the time a file is created. They may be changed at some later time through the chmod(2) call.

    File access is broken down according to whether a file may be: read, written, or executed. Directory files use the execute permission to control if the directory may be searched.

    File access permissions are interpreted by the system as they apply to three different classes of users: the owner of the file, those users in the file's group, anyone else. Every file has an independent set of access permissions for each of these classes. When an access check is made, the system decides if permission should be granted by checking the access information applicable to the caller.

    Read, write, and execute/search permissions on a file are granted to a process if:

    The process's effective user ID is that of the super-user. (Note: even the super-user cannot execute a non-executable file.)

    The process's effective user ID matches the user ID of the owner of the file and the owner permissions allow the access.

    The process's effective user ID does not match the user ID of the owner of the file, and either the process's effective group ID matches the group ID of the file, or the group ID of the file is in the process's group access list, and the group permissions allow the access.

    Neither the effective user ID nor effective group ID and group access list of the process match the corresponding user ID and group ID of the file, but the permissions for ``other users'' allow access.

    Otherwise, permission is denied.

    Sockets and Address Families
    A socket is an endpoint for communication between processes. Each socket has queues for sending and receiving data.

    Sockets are typed according to their communications properties. These properties include whether messages sent and received at a socket require the name of the partner, whether communication is reliable, the format used in naming message recipients, etc.

    Each instance of the system supports some collection of socket types; consult socket(2) for more information about the types available and their properties.

    Each instance of the system supports some number of sets of communications protocols. Each protocol set supports addresses of a certain format. An Address Family is the set of addresses for a specific group of protocols. Each socket has an address chosen from the address family in which the socket was created.
