NAME

perror - explain error codes

SYNOPSIS

perror [ options ] errorcode ...

DESCRIPTION

For most system errors, MariaDB displays, in addition to an internal text message, the system error code in one of the following styles:

message ... (errno: #)
message ... (Errcode: #)

You can find out what the error code means by examining the documentation for your system or by using the perror utility.

perror prints a description for a system error code or for a storage engine (table handler) error code.

Invoke perror like this:

shell> perror [ options ] errorcode ...

Example:

shell> perror 13 64
OS error code 13: Permission denied
OS error code 64: Machine is not on the network

Note that the meaning of system error messages may be dependent on your operating system. A given error code may mean different things on different operating systems.

perror supports the following options.

• --help , --info , -I , -?

Display a help message and exit.

• --silent , -s

Silent mode. Print only the error message.

• --verbose , -v

Verbose mode. Print error code and message. This is the default behavior.

• --version , -V

Display version information and exit.
