NAME

errno.h - system error numbers

SYNOPSIS

#include <errno.h>

DESCRIPTION

Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the ISO C standard.

The ISO C standard only requires the symbols [EDOM], [EILSEQ], and [ERANGE] to be defined.

The <errno.h> header shall provide a declaration for errno and give positive values for the following symbolic constants. Their values shall be unique except as noted below.

Argument list too long.
Permission denied.
Address in use.
Address not available.
Address family not supported.
Resource unavailable, try again (may be the same value as [EWOULDBLOCK]).
Connection already in progress.
Bad file descriptor.
Bad message.
Device or resource busy.
Operation canceled.
No child processes.
Connection aborted.
Connection refused.
Connection reset.
Resource deadlock would occur.
Destination address required.
Mathematics argument out of domain of function.
Reserved.
File exists.
Bad address.
File too large.
Host is unreachable.
Identifier removed.
Illegal byte sequence.
Operation in progress.
Interrupted function.
Invalid argument.
I/O error.
Socket is connected.
Is a directory.
Too many levels of symbolic links.
Too many open files.
Too many links.
Message too large.
Reserved.
Filename too long.

Protocol not available.
No space left on device.
No STREAM resources.
Not a STREAM.
Function not supported.
The socket is not connected.
Not a directory.
Directory not empty.

Not supported.
Inappropriate I/O control operation.
No such device or address.
Operation not supported on socket.
Value too large to be stored in data type.
