Unix, Xenix and ODT General FAQ
What does "Error 5" mean (or any "Error xx") ?
If that came from an application program, you might have to ask whoever wrote the program. However, if they are just showing you system error codes, or the error is coming from a system command, you can look in /usr/include/sys/errno.h to find an English translation. These errors are pretty standard across Unix/Linux systems, though where you'll find the list varies: on Linux, you can get it from "man errno".
