Re: [Freedos-devel] Re: List of Exitcodes

[Wilhelm Spiegl via Freedos-devel]

forget ai. yesterday I asked meta ai how far a snail can walk in her life, and i got a result of in about 15 km in her 5 till 7 years of life. in the same response meta ai told me that the snail can reach a distance of 50 till 250 m per hour. when i asked her if 250 m per hour is correct, ai corrected itself as she noticed the discrepance.

Even more, I have to admit that when I wrote KEYB long time ago I used the same exit codes as MS-DOS KEYB (plus some extended codes that MS-DOS KEYB did not have), but it was so long ago that I can't even remember where I took the list from ( I am not sure that it wasn't taking MS-DOS KEYB and making it fail to find these codes out).

If you search using ChatGPT (Copilot) it points to my own FreeDOS KEYB documentation, so useless answer in this sense.

Thanks to both again.

Yeah, I supposed that there is no consistent exitcode list for all commands.

I seem to remember a table somewhere with exitcodes for SOME DOS commands (but I lost track).

The Pascal sources mentioned are interesting attempts to do so. I assume that no MS-DOS command was programmed in Pascal though, but nevertheless interesting lists.

you might mean the list of error codes for failing function calls,
where "out of disk space", "invalid handle", "access denied" etc.
is used consistently between different DOS function calls.

AFAIK there is no list of error codes for different DOS commands.
