PERROR(1)                MariaDB Database System                PERROR(1)
       perror - explain error codes
       perror [options] errorcode ...
       For most system errors, MariaDB displays, in addition to an
       internal text message, the system error code in one of the
       following styles:
           message ... (errno: #)
           message ... (Errcode: #)
       You can find out what the error code means by examining the
       documentation for your system or by using the perror utility.
       perror prints a description for a system error code or for a
       storage engine (table handler) error code.
       Invoke perror like this:
           shell> perror [options] errorcode ...
       Example:
           shell> perror 13 64
           OS error code  13:  Permission denied
           OS error code  64:  Machine is not on the network
       Note that the meaning of system error messages may be dependent on
       your operating system. A given error code may mean different
       things on different operating systems.
       perror supports the following options.
       •   --help, --info, -I, -?
           Display a help message and exit.
       •   --silent, -s
           Silent mode. Print only the error message.
       •   --verbose, -v
           Verbose mode. Print error code and message. This is the
           default behavior.
       •   --version, -V
           Display version information and exit.
