00040  *  SYSEXITS.H -- Exit status codes for system programs.
00041  *
00042  *      This include file attempts to categorize possible error
00043  *      exit statuses for system programs, notably delivermail
00044  *      and the Berkeley network.
00045  *
00046  *      Error numbers begin at EX__BASE to reduce the possibility of
00047  *      clashing with other exit statuses that random programs may
00048  *      already return.  The meaning of the codes is approximately
00049  *      as follows:
00050  *
00051  *      EX_USAGE -- The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with
00052  *              the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad
00053  *              syntax in a parameter, or whatever.
00054  *      EX_DATAERR -- The input data was incorrect in some way.
00055  *              This should only be used for user's data & not
00056  *              system files.
00057  *      EX_NOINPUT -- An input file (not a system file) did not
00058  *              exist or was not readable.  This could also include
00059  *              errors like "No message" to a mailer (if it cared
00060  *              to catch it).
00061  *      EX_NOUSER -- The user specified did not exist.  This might
00062  *              be used for mail addresses or remote logins.
00063  *      EX_NOHOST -- The host specified did not exist.  This is used
00064  *              in mail addresses or network requests.
00065  *      EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable.  This can occur
00066  *              if a support program or file does not exist.  This
00067  *              can also be used as a catchall message when something
00068  *              you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know
00069  *              why.
00070  *      EX_SOFTWARE -- An internal software error has been detected.
00071  *              This should be limited to non-operating system related
00072  *              errors as possible.
00073  *      EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
00074  *              This is intended to be used for such things as "cannot
00075  *              fork", "cannot create pipe", or the like.  It includes
00076  *              things like getuid returning a user that does not
00077  *              exist in the passwd file.
00078  *      EX_OSFILE -- Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /etc/utmp,
00079  *              etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some
00080  *              sort of error (e.g., syntax error).
00081  *      EX_CANTCREAT -- A (user specified) output file cannot be
00082  *              created.
00083  *      EX_IOERR -- An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.
00084  *      EX_TEMPFAIL -- temporary failure, indicating something that
00085  *              is not really an error.  In sendmail, this means
00086  *              that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection,
00087  *              and the request should be reattempted later.
00088  *      EX_PROTOCOL -- the remote system returned something that
00089  *              was "not possible" during a protocol exchange.
00090  *      EX_NOPERM -- You did not have sufficient permission to
00091  *              perform the operation.  This is not intended for
00092  *              file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or
00093  *              CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.
