PERROR(1)                             MySQL Database System                             PERROR(1)



NAME
       perror - explain error codes

SYNOPSIS
       perror [options] errorcode ...

DESCRIPTION
       For most system errors, MySQL 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

       To obtain the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code, invoke perror with the --ndb
       option:

          shell> perror --ndb errorcode

       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.

       ?  --ndb

          Print the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code.

       ?  --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.
