System Error Codes

System Error Codes are defined errors and error messages that are used by programmers when their software is experiencing an issue. They are displayed to users of the computer system due to hardware issues, software issues, or some types of user input. System error codes are usually displayed as an acronym, with a description of the error along with an explanation of what to do next.

These error codes are displayed on the Internet when a website is not accessible, or if there is an internal server problem, such as a data base issue. On a local computer, these errors can be as simple as “file too long,” where the solution is to change the file name or more complicated such as “no space left on disk.” In this situation, you may need to close some programs (to clear swap files) or erase some files, or buy a larger hard disk.

Other system errors can be as serious as “fatal error,” where a program has decided to error 1327 invalid h drive shut down and give up or even as minor as a warning that something isn’t working with an operation. The majority of errors that occur on the GNU/Hurd system is reflected by an error message in the header file Errno.

These errors can be as simple as “text file busy,” where the operation is attempting to modify a read-only file or as complicated as “broken pipe.” These errors can also mean that the program trying to perform on the resource has been stopped by a signal such as SIGPIPE that has not been dealt with.
