Sorry, we've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about, or what you're asking.

Write a clear question, and provide complete information, such as version/distro of Linux, and what you're trying to do/accomplish.

Usually 255 is a bad or deleted file descriptor, If thats what you are talking about.
