The closest Unix has to offer are these BSD-specific values which few programs use: /* * SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs. * * This include file attempts to categorize possible error * exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail * and the Berkeley network. * * Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of * clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may * already return. The meaning of the codes is approximately * as follows: * * EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with * the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad * syntax in a parameter, or whatever. * EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way. * This should only be used for user's data & not * system files. * EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not * exist or was not readable. This could also include * errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared * to catch it). * EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist. This might * be used for mail addresses or remote logins. * EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist. This is used * in mail addresses or network requests. * EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can occur * if a support program or file does not exist. This * can also be used as a catchall message when something * you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know * why. * EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected. * This should be limited to non-operating system related * errors as possible. * EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected. * This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot * fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like. It includes * things like getuid returning a user that does not * exist in the passwd file. * EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp, * etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some * sort of error (e.g., syntax error). * EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be * created. * EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file. * EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that * is not really an error. In sendmail, this means * that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection, * and the request should be reattempted later. * EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that * was "not possible" during a protocol exchange. * EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to * perform the operation. This is not intended for * file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or * CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions. */
