4.4 Dicod Exit Codes

Apart from issuing a descriptive error message, dicod attempts to indicate the reason of its termination by its error code. As usual, a zero exit code indicates normal termination. The table below summarizes all possible error codes. For each error code, it indicates its decimal value and its symbolic name from include/sysexits.h (if available).

0
EX_OK

Program terminated correctly.

2

Only child instances of dicod exit with this code. It indicates that the child did not receive any ‘DICT’ command within the time out interval (see inactivity-timeout).

64
EX_USAGE

67
EX_NOUSER

EX_UNAVAILABLE
