This module makes available standard errno system symbols. The value of each symbol is the corresponding integer value. The names and descriptions are borrowed from linux/include/errno.h, which should be all-inclusive. Dictionary providing a mapping from the errno value to the string name in the underlying system. For instance, errno.errorcode[errno.EPERM] maps to 'EPERM'. To translate a numeric error code to an error message, use os.strerror. Of the following list, symbols that are not used on the current platform are not defined by the module. The specific list of defined symbols is available as errno.errorcode.keys(). Symbols available can include Operation not permitted. This error is mapped to the exception PermissionError. No such file or directory. This error is mapped to the exception FileNotFoundError. No such process. This error is mapped to the exception ProcessLookupError. Interrupted system call. This error is mapped to the exception InterruptedError. No such device or address No child processes. This error is mapped to the exception ChildProcessError. Try again. This error is mapped to the exception BlockingIOError. Permission denied. This error is mapped to the exception PermissionError. File exists. This error is mapped to the exception FileExistsError. Not a directory. This error is mapped to the exception NotADirectoryError. Is a directory. This error is mapped to the exception IsADirectoryError. Broken pipe. This error is mapped to the exception BrokenPipeError. Math argument out of domain of func Math result not representable Resource deadlock would occur No record locks available Too many symbolic links encountered Operation would block. This error is mapped to the exception BlockingIOError. No message of desired type Channel number out of range Protocol driver not attached No CSI structure available Invalid request descriptor File locking deadlock error Machine is not on the network Communication error on send Value too large for defined data type Name not unique on network File descriptor in bad state Can not access a needed shared library Accessing a corrupted shared library .lib section in a.out corrupted Attempting to link in too many shared libraries Cannot exec a shared library directly Interrupted system call should be restarted … Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
