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

90 ** please mail changes to me.
