Besides https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-bash-exit-status-set-exit-statusin-bash/ is there any other source for this list?

@balupton: Thank you for reminding me about the source.

@shinokada looking at the dates, seems the aforementioned link was Mar 30 and yours was Feb 3, so you did it earlier than that. I'm just trying to track down anything that can corroborate these codes.

Other sources that seem to have contributed:

• https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Error-Codes.html
• https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/e2d40cd1d52306035756687257c00bed144928e1/doc/errno.txt
• https://stackoverflow.com/a/39950673/130638

Which led to:

http://manpages.org/errno/3

# on ubuntu
sudo apt install moreutils
# on mac
brew install moreutils

errno -l

Which the above listing can be generated from:

errno -l | cut -d' ' -f2-
