🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet errno from moreutils — it looks up errno names and descriptions. like, your error-code translator but make it cute 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

errno {name-or-code}

errno [-ls] [--list]

errno [-s] [--search] {word}

errno [-S] [--search-all-locales] {word}

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

errno looks up errno macro names, errno codes, and the corresponding descriptions. fr fr. For example, on a Linux system, if you give it ENOENT, it prints the code 2 and the description "No such file or directory". If you give it the code 2, it prints ENOENT and that same description. it's giving error-message decoder ring, and honestly? obsessed 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -l, --list — list all errno values. all of them. every single one. slay.
• -s, --search — search for errors whose description contains all the given words (case-insensitive). yes, all of them, not just one, bestie.
• -S, --search-all-locales — like --search, but it searches all installed locales. periodt.
