Sourceframework/console/ExitCode.php

This class provides constants for defining console command exit codes.

The exit codes follow the codes defined in the FreeBSD sysexits(3) manual page.

These constants can be used in console controllers for example like this:

public function actionIndex()
{
if (!$this->isAllowedToPerformAction()) {
$this->stderr('Error: ' . ExitCode::getReason(ExitCode::NOPERM));
return ExitCode::NOPERM;
}
// do something
return ExitCode::OK;
}

PropertyTypeDescriptionDefined by
$reasons staticarrayA map of reason descriptions for exit codes. Default: [self::OK => 'Success', self::UNSPECIFIED_ERROR => 'Unspecified error', self::USAGE => 'Incorrect usage, argument or option error', self::DATAERR => 'Error in input data', self::NOINPUT => 'Input file not found or unreadable', self::NOUSER => 'User not found', self::NOHOST => 'Host not found', self::UNAVAILABLE => 'A required service is unavailable', self::SOFTWARE => 'Internal error', self::OSERR => 'Error making system call or using OS service', self::OSFILE => 'Error accessing system file', self::CANTCREAT => 'Cannot create output file', self::IOERR => 'I/O error', self::TEMPFAIL => 'Temporary failure', self::PROTOCOL => 'Unexpected remote service behavior', self::NOPERM => 'Insufficient permissions', self::CONFIG => 'Configuration error'].ExitCode
MethodDescriptionDefined by
getReason() staticReturns a short reason text for the given exit code.ExitCode
ConstantValueDescriptionDefined by
OK0The command completed successfully.ExitCode
UNSPECIFIED_ERROR1The command exited with an error code that says nothing about the error.ExitCode
USAGE64The command was used incorrectly, e.g., with the wrong number of arguments, a bad flag, a bad syntax in a parameter, or whatever.ExitCode
DATAERR65The input data was incorrect in some way. This should only be used for user’s data and not system files.ExitCode
NOINPUT66An input file (not a system file) did not exist or was not readable.ExitCode
NOUSER67The user specified did not exist. This might be used for mail addresses or remote logins.ExitCode
NOHOST68The host specified did not exist. This is used in mail addresses or network requests.ExitCode
UNAVAILABLE69A service is unavailable. This can occur if a support program or file does not exist. This can also be used as a catchall message when something you wanted to do does not work, but you do not know why.ExitCode
SOFTWARE70An internal software error has been detected. This should be limited to non-operating system related errors as possible.ExitCode
OSERR71An operating system error has been detected. This is intended to be used for such things as cannot fork'', cannot create pipe”, or the like. It includes things like getuid returning a user that does not exist in the passwd file.ExitCode
OSFILE72Some system file (e.g., /etc/passwd, /var/run/utx.active, etc.) does not exist, cannot be opened, or has some sort of error (e.g., syntax error).ExitCode
CANTCREAT73A (user specified) output file cannot be created.ExitCode
IOERR74An error occurred while doing I/O on some file.ExitCode
TEMPFAIL75Temporary failure, indicating something that is not really an error. In sendmail, this means that a mailer (e.g.) could not create a connection, and the request should be reattempted later.ExitCode
PROTOCOL76The remote system returned something that was “not possible” during a protocol exchange.ExitCode
NOPERM77You 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.ExitCode
CONFIG78Something was found in an unconfigured or misconfigured state.ExitCode
public static function getReason(int $exitCode): string

Returns a short reason text for the given exit code.

This method uses $reasons to determine the reason for an exit code.
