4 eNOFT Diagnostic Messages

eNOFT sends all information to the standard output and does not differentiate error

messages from its standard output when redirection of output is specified. A return

code of "1" is generated on fatal termination and "0" (EXIT_SUCCESS) otherwise.

In interactive mode, messages that appear in the output listing fall into one of four

severity levels:

Fatal Errors on page 4-1

Data Errors on page 4-1

Syntax Errors on page 4-1

Warnings on page 4-2.

Fatal Errors

Fatal errors are generated when memory cannot be allocated, most likely due to an

internal problem with the program; for example, illegal access into memory.

enoft> FATAL ERROR *** [code]

where code is a value from 1 to 999.

Memory allocated data are destroyed and the program aborts with a return code of "1"

(EXIT_FAILURE).

Data Errors

This type of error is generated when eNOFT cannot continue processing because the

object file is incomplete or damaged or if the specified command is not applicable to

the target object type.

enoft> DATA ERROR *** [code]

where code is a value from 1000 to 1999.

In interactive mode, eNOFT returns a prompt after the error message is displayed. In

command-line mode, eNOFT continues with the next command after the error message

is displayed.

Syntax Errors

This type of error is generated when eNOFT cannot recognize the entered command or

its syntax.

enoft> SYNTAX ERROR *** [code]
