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
          Error code  13:  Permission denied
          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:

       o  --help, --info, -I, -?

          Display a help message and exit.

       o  --ndb

          Print the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code.

       o  --silent, -s

          Silent mode. Print only the error message.

       o  --verbose, -v

          Verbose mode. Print error code and message. This is the default
          behavior.

       o  --version, -V

          Display version information and exit.
