I am using child process in Node.js and when I try to spawn a process for which executable does not exist the spawn throws a error object : https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_class_system_error
with error.errno and error.code as "ENOENT" which means "no such files or directory exist"
but I need its meaning that is "no such files or directory exist" which is not available in error object Is there a class in Node.js which can help me with the same.
Input the system error code into this function and it will give you the description of the error.
function system_error_description(err_code) {
if(typeof err_code != "string"
|| err_code.length < 2
|| err_code[0] != "E") {
return "Invalid system error code '" + err_code.toString() + "'";
}
switch(err_code) {
case "EACCES":
return "Permission denied";
case "EADDRINUSE":
return "Address already in use";
case "ECONNREFUSED":
return "Connection refused";
case "ECONNRESET":
return "Connection reset by peer";
case "EEXIST":
return "File exists";
case "EISDIR":
return "Is a directory";
case "EMFILE":
return "Too many open files in system";
case "ENOENT":
return "No such file or directory";
case "ENOTDIR":
return "Not a directory";
case "EPERM":
return "Operation not permitted";
case "EPIPE":
return "Broken pipe";
case "ETIMEDOUT":
return "Operation timed out";
default:
return "System error code '" + err_code + "' not recognized";
}
}
