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:

 message ... (errno: #) message ... (Errcode: #) 

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:

 shell>  perror  [  options  ]  errorcode  ... 

Example:

 shell>  perror 13 64  Error code  13:  Permission denied Error code  64:  Machine is not on the network 

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.
