7.12 perror, Explaining Error Codes
For most system errors, MySQL displays, in addition to an internal text message, the system error code in one of the following styles:
You can find out what the error code means by either 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:
message ... (errno: #)
message ... (Errcode: #)
Example:
shell> perror [options] 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.
shell> perror 13 64
Error code 13: Permission denied
Error code 64: Machine is not on the network
