Open System Services System Calls Reference Manual (G06.28+)

System Functions (s and S) stat(2)
• The intermediate result of pathname resolution when a
symbolic link is part of the path parameter
The pathconf( ) function can be called to obtain the applicable
limits.
[ENOENT] One of these conditions exists:
• The file specified by the path parameter does not exist.
• The path parameter points to an empty string.
• The specified pathname cannot be mapped to a valid
Guardian filename.
• The specified pathname points to the name of a Guar-
dian process that is not of subtype 30.
• The path parameter specifies a file on a remote HP Non-
Stop node, but communication with the remote node has
been lost.
[ENOROOT] One of these conditions exists:
• The root fileset of the local node (fileset 0) is not in the
STARTED state.
• The current root fileset for the specified file is unavail-
able. The OSS name server for the fileset might have
failed.
• The specified file is on a remote HP NonStop node, and
communication with the remote name server has been
lost.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the pathname specified by the path parameter is
not a directory.
[ENXIO] An invalid device or address was specified during an input or
output operation on a special file. One of these events occurred:
• A device was specified that does not exist, or a request
was made beyond the limits of the device.
• The fileset containing the requestor’s current working
directory or root directory is not mounted. This error
can occur after failure and restart of an OSS name server
process until the fileset has been repaired and
remounted.
[EOSSNOTRUNNING]
The program attempted an operation on an object in the OSS
environment while a required system process was not running.
For all other error conditions, errno is set to the appropriate Guardian file-
system error number. See the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages
Manual for more information about a specific Guardian file-system error.
