API Status Codes

Methods return 0 if all goes well. Exceptionally, there are some methods that return nothing, such as sleep() functions.

All the return codes have the EmodRet type, which is a 4-byte integer (int32_t). The EmodRet type is composed by

ID Function Status Code
1 Byte 1 Byte 2 Bytes
Identifies the type of module that produced the return code Identifies the returning function The return code itself

where the ID is the most significant byte.

Module and error codes are mandatory.

On the other hand, return codes are classified into the following groups:

Standard errno error codes

When system requests fail, error codes are returned. GNU/Linux OS system error codes are described by the file asm-generic/errno.h. This file defines the integer variable errno, which is used by system calls and some library functions in the event of an error to indicate what went wrong.

Here is brief description of the errno type.

EmodRetErrRecvConfig 0x1006 Configuration could not be retrieved from module
EmodRetErrModuleNotFound 0x1007 Module not found
EmodRetErrNoModulesFound 0x1008 None of the modules have been found
EmodRetErrValueOutOfRange 0x1009 Array index or parameter out of range
