\section{Error Codes}
\label{error-codes}

The following error codes are defined in zephyr_err.h, which
is included by zephyr.h:

\begin{tabbing}
ZERR_NOMORESUBSCRIPTIONS\ \ \= \kill
ZERR_NONE \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No error was detected.} \\
\\
ZERR_PKTLEN \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A notice was too big to fit into the supplied buffer,
or ran over the maximum allowed packet size.} \\
\\
ZERR_HEADERLEN \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A formatted notice header exceeded the
maximum header length.} \\
\\
ZERR_ILLVAL \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A member of the notice structure contained an illegal value.} \\
\\
ZERR_HMPORT \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The port number for the HostManager could not be found in
\filename{/etc/services}.} \\
\\
ZERR_PORTINUSE \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The port explicitly requested in a call to ZOpenPort
couldn't be bound.} \\
\\
ZERR_BADPKT \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The packet is badly formatted and can't be parsed.} \\
\\
ZERR_VERS \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The packet was formatted using a version of the
protocol which is incompatible with the protocol supported by this
version of the library function.} \\
\\
ZERR_NOPORT \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A function which requires an open port was called
before a port was opened.} \\
\\
ZERR_NONOTICE \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No notice which was accepted by the predicate was
found by ZCheckIfNotice.} \\
\\
ZERR_QLEN \> \parbox[t]{4in}{Too many notices have been read in to the input queue but not
retrieved.} \\
\\
ZERR_HMDEAD \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The HostManager did not send an acknowledgment to a packet.} \\
\\
ZERR_INTERNAL \> \parbox[t]{4in}{Something really strange is going on, probably with
the system instead of with the application itself (for example,
\filename{/etc/passwd} can't be read).} \\
\\
ZERR_NOLOCATIONS \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No locations were available to return using
ZGetLocations or flush using ZFlushLocations.  This usually means that
ZLocateUser hasn't been called yet.} \\
\\
ZERR_NOMORELOCS \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No more locations were available to return.  This
means that ZGetLocations wants to retrieve more locations than are
available.} \\
\\
ZERR_FIELDLEN \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The data passed to ZMakeAscii exceeds the size of the
supplied buffer.} \\
\\
ZERR_BADFIELD \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The data passed to ZReadAscii is in an improper format.} \\
\\
ZERR_SERVNAK \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A server negative-acknowledgment was received while
performing a privileged operation (such as subscribing).  This usually
means that user authentication failed.} \\
\\
ZERR_AUTHFAIL \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A login notice was not authenticated properly.} \\
\\
ZERR_LOGINFAIL \> \parbox[t]{4in}{A login notice was not accepted by the server.} \\
\\
ZERR_NOSUBSCRIPTIONS \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No subscriptions were available to return
using ZGetSubscriptions or flush using ZFlushSubscriptions.  This
usually means that ZRetrieveSubscriptions or
ZRetrieveDefaultSubscriptions hasn't been called yet.} \\
\\
ZERR_NOMORESUBSCRIPTIONS \> \parbox[t]{4in}{No more subscriptions were available to
return.  This means that ZGetSubscriptions wants to retrieve more subscriptions than are available.} \\
\\
ZERR_EOF \> \parbox[t]{4in}{The file descriptor that the library is using to read its
packets was inadvertently closed.} \\
\\
\end{tabbing}
