17 **  SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs.
18 **
19 **	This include file attempts to categorize possible error
20 **	exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail
21 **	and the Berkeley network.
22 **
23 **	Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of
24 **	clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may
25 **	already return.  The meaning of the codes is approximately
26 **	as follows:
27 **
28 **	EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with
29 **		the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad
30 **		syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
31 **	EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way.
32 **		This should only be used for user's data & not
33 **		system files.
34 **	EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not
35 **		exist or was not readable.  This could also include
36 **		errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared
37 **		to catch it).
38 **	EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist.  This might
39 **		be used for mail addresses or remote logins.
40 **	EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist.  This is used
41 **		in mail addresses or network requests.
42 **	EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable.  This can occur
43 **		if a support program or file does not exist.  This
44 **		can also be used as a catchall message when something
45 **		you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know
46 **		why.
47 **	EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected.
48 **		This should be limited to non-operating system related
49 **		errors as possible.
50 **	EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
51 **		This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot
52 **		fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like.  It includes
53 **		things like getuid returning a user that does not
54 **		exist in the passwd file.
55 **	EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp,
56 **		etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some
57 **		sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
58 **	EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
59 **		created.
60 **	EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
61 **	EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
62 **		is not really an error.  In sendmail, this means
63 **		that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
64 **		and the request should be reattempted later.
65 **	EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that
66 **		was "not possible" during a protocol exchange.
67 **	EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to
68 **		perform the operation.  This is not intended for
69 **		file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
70 **		CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
