Process Control error constants

Constants	Description
PCNTL_E2BIG (int)	Argument list too long
PCNTL_EACCES (int)	Permission denied
PCNTL_EAGAIN (int)	Resource temporarily unavailable
PCNTL_ECAPMODE (int)	The process attempted an operation not permitted in capability mode while running in capability mode.
PCNTL_ECHILD (int)	No child processes
PCNTL_EFAULT (int)	Bad address
PCNTL_EINTR (int)	Interrupted function call
PCNTL_EINVAL (int)	Invalid argument
PCNTL_EIO (int)	Input/output error
PCNTL_EISDIR (int)	Is a directory
PCNTL_ELIBBAD (int)	Accessing a corrupted shared library.
PCNTL_ELOOP (int)	Too many levels of symbolic links
PCNTL_EMFILE (int)	Too many open files. Commonly caused by exceeding the RLIMIT_NOFILE resource limit. Can also be caused by exceeding the limit specified in /proc/sys/fs/nr_open.
PCNTL_ENAMETOOLONG (int)	Filename too long
PCNTL_ENFILE (int)	Too many open files in system. On Linux, this is probably a result of encountering the /proc/sys/fs/file-max limit.
PCNTL_ENOENT (int)	No such file or directory. Typically, this error results when a specified pathname does not exist, or one of the components in the directory prefix of a pathname does not exist, or the specified pathname is a dangling symbolic link.
