NAME         top

       perror - explain error codes

SYNOPSIS         top


       perror [options] errorcode ...

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.
