Socket Errors

HP NonStop IPX/SPX Programming Manual—528022-001

B-3

EALREADY (4103)

Cause. An operation is already in progress. For accept_nw and connect_nw calls,

there is already an outstanding call on the socket. For the send_nw call, the send

buffer is already full (see the SO_SNDBUF option of the setsockopt, setsockopt_nw on

page 5-49 call for increasing the size of the send buffer).

Effect. The call failed.

Recovery. Wait for the operation to complete and retry the call.

EBADF (4009)

Cause. The filedes or socket parameter specified in the call contained an invalid file

descriptor.

Effect. The call failed.

Recovery. Correct the file descriptor specification in the call and retry the call.

EBADSYS (4196)

Cause. Either an application attempted to write directly to the NonStop IPXPROTO

process, or an internal error occurred in one of the socket routines.

Effect. The operation failed.

Recovery. Direct writes to the NonStop IPXPROTO process are not permitted; use the

socket calls. However, if the problem appears to be an internal socket error, contact

your service provider.

ECONNABORTED (4119)

Cause. A connection was aborted by the internal software on your host machine.

Effect. The connection was closed.

Recovery. Close the socket. Reestablish the connection using the socket, bind,

and connect calls. If the problem persists, contact your service provider.
