Remarks

The errno values are constants assigned to errno in the event of various error conditions.

ERRNO.H contains the definitions of the errno values. However, not all the definitions given in ERRNO.H are used in 32-bit Windows operating systems. Some of the values in ERRNO.H are present to maintain compatibility with the UNIX family of operating systems.

The errno values in a 32-bit Windows operating system are a subset of the values for errno in XENIX systems. Thus, the errno value is not necessarily the same as the actual error code returned by a system call from the Windows operating systems. To access the actual operating system error code, use the _doserrno variable, which contains this value.

The following errno values are supported:

  • ECHILD
    No spawned processes.

  • EAGAIN
    No more processes. An attempt to create a new process failed because there are no more process slots, or there is not enough memory, or the maximum nesting level has been reached.

  • E2BIG
    Argument list too long.

  • EACCES
    Permission denied. The file's permission setting does not allow the specified access. This error signifies that an attempt was made to access a file (or, in some cases, a directory) in a way that is incompatible with the file's attributes.

    For example, the error can occur when an attempt is made to read from a file that is not open, to open an existing read-only file for writing, or to open a directory instead of a file. Under MS-DOS operating system versions 3.0 and later, EACCES may also indicate a locking or sharing violation.

    The error can also occur in an attempt to rename a file or directory or to remove an existing directory.

  • EBADF
    Bad file number. There are two possible causes: 1) The specified file descriptor is not a valid value or does not refer to an open file. 2) An attempt was made to write to a file or device opened for read-only access.

  • EDEADLOCK
    Resource deadlock would occur. The argument to a math function is not in the domain of the function.

  • EDOM
    Math argument.

  • EEXIST
    Files exist. An attempt has been made to create a file that already exists. For example, the _O_CREAT and _O_EXCL flags are specified in an _open call, but the named file already exists.

  • EILSEQ
    Illegal sequence of bytes (for example, in an MBCS string).

  • EINVAL
    Invalid argument. An invalid value was given for one of the arguments to a function. For example, the value given for the origin when positioning a file pointer (by means of a call to fseek) is before the beginning of the file.

  • EMFILE
    Too many open files. No more file descriptors are available, so no more files can be opened.

  • ENOENT
    No such file or directory. The specified file or directory does not exist or cannot be found. This message can occur whenever a specified file does not exist or a component of a path does not specify an existing directory.

  • ENOEXEC
    Exec format error. An attempt was made to execute a file that is not executable or that has an invalid executable-file format.

  • ENOMEM
    Not enough core. Not enough memory is available for the attempted operator. For example, this message can occur when insufficient memory is available to execute a child process, or when the allocation request in a _getcwd call cannot be satisfied.

  • ENOSPC
    No space left on device. No more space for writing is available on the device (for example, when the disk is full).

  • ERANGE
    Result too large. An argument to a math function is too large, resulting in partial or total loss of significance in the result. This error can also occur in other functions when an argument is larger than expected (for example, when the buffer argument to _getcwd is longer than expected).

  • EXDEV
    Cross-device link. An attempt was made to move a file to a different device (using the rename function).

  • STRUNCATE
    A string copy or concatenation resulted in a truncated string. See _TRUNCATE.
