ioctl() Errno Numbers


Hi there,

I'm trying to run a testing program on a PPC platform running RHLE 8.0. The test program doesn't work propperly and complains with Errno=19... I man-ed errno but there is no description of these numbers (e.g. 19) only symbolyc error names. Does these names correspond in some way to the Errno number? If not what do these numbers mean? I realy can't find a description like:

errno 1 -> this and this
errno 2 -> this and that
errno 3 -> ...

etc.

Can someone shed some light on this issue?

Does it go like this?
  1. E2BIG Arg list too long
  2. EACCES Permission denied
  3. EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
  4. EBADF Bad file descriptor
  5. EBADMSG Bad message
  6. EBUSY Resource busy
  7. ECANCELED Operation canceled
  8. ECHILD No child processes
  9. EDEADLK Resource deadlock avoided
  10. EDOM Domain error
  11. EEXIST File exists
  12. EFAULT Bad address
  13. EFBIG File too large
  14. EINPROGRESS Operation in progress
  15. EINTR Interrupted function call
  16. EINVAL Invalid argument
  17. EIO Input/output error
  18. EISDIR Is a directory
  19. EMFILE Too many open files
  20. EMLINK Too many links
  21. EMSGSIZE Inappropriate message buffer length
  22. ENAMETOOLONG Filename too long
  23. ENFILE Too many open files in system
  24. ENODEV No such device
  25. ENOENT No such file or directory
  26. ENOEXEC Exec format error
  27. ENOLCK No locks available
  28. ENOMEM Not enough space
  29. ENOSPC No space left on device
  30. ENOSYS Function not implemented
  31. ENOTDIR Not a directory
  32. ENOTEMPTY Directory not empty
  33. ENOTSUP Not supported
  34. ENOTTY Inappropriate I/O control operation
  35. ENXIO No such device or address
  36. EPERM Operation not permitted
  37. EPIPE Broken pipe
  38. ERANGE Result too large
  39. EROFS Read-only file system
  40. ESPIPE Invalid seek
  41. ESRCH No such process
  42. ETIMEDOUT Operation timed out
  43. EXDEV Improper link

... so errno 19 will be "Too many open files"?

You can add:
Code:
#include <errno.h>
and for example when you detect an error you do
Code:
perror("read");

inaccurate?

somehow that other list didn't work for me, since I know I have 16 as "busy"

define EBUSY 16 /* Device or resource busy */

so beware...

That is what AIX defines errno #16 to be. (from http://fossies.org/dox/glibc-2.17/aix-errno_8h.html)

The linux definitions are those already listed.
