Application exit codes

0. SUCCESS

Not an error message. It's a success message. Rejoice!

-1. CANT_CREATE_FILE

Cannot make a file, due to problems with the write directory. Directory may be hidden, or its contents set to read-only. Or permission is just not allowed.

-2. READ_FAILED

Cannot read file. Is the file even there? Is the file corrupt?

-3. WRITE_FAILED

Cannot write the file. Is there enough drive space to write the file into? Do you have permission to write to the directory? Are the contents of the directory set to read-only?

-4. MALLOC_FAILED

Memory allocation failed. Do you have enough memory? Is the application appointing a memory write point within your available memory?

-5. FOPEN_FAILED

File Open has failed. Make sure you have read/write rights to the whole BOINC directory and sub directories, that all files are not read-only.
On BOINC 5 versions, make sure the BOINC directory isn't hidden.

-6. BAD_HEADER

This is a network connection error and can happen when you try to use TLS/SSL authentication while the server is not set up for TLS/SSL, or vice versa.

-7. BAD_DECODE

-8. BAD_BIN_READ

-9. RESULT_OVERFLOW

In the Seti project this is a benign error. It means that there were more radio signals found than there is space in the output file to store them in. This is most usually caused by extra terrestrial RFI signals. Not aliens.

-10. UNHANDLED_SIGNAL

-11. FP_ERROR

Floating Point error.

-12. ATEXIT_FAILURE
