Package

sysexits.

Source

sysexits.lisp.

Constant: +noperm+

You did not have sufficient permission to perform the operation. This is not intended for file system problems, which should use NOINPUT or CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permissions.

Package

The user specified did not exist. This might be used for mail addresses or remote logins.

Package

Package

sysexits.

Source

sysexits.lisp.

Constant: +unavailable+
