AIXLink/X.25 1.1 for AIX: Guide and Reference
N_ERROR_ACK Primitive
Purpose
Provides notification of an error.
Structure
This primitive consists of one M_PROTO message block with the following structure:
typedef struct {
   ulong PRIM_type;
   ulong ERROR_prim;
   ulong NPI_error;
   ulong UNIX_error;
} N_error_ack_t;
Description
The N_ERROR_ACK primitive informs the application that a non-fatal error occurred in the previously issued primitive. This primitive can only be initiated as an acknowledgment for those primitives that require one. The N_ERROR_ACK primitive does not perform any action on the primitive that caused the error.
Parameters
| PRIM_type | 
  Specifies the N_ERROR_ACK primitive. | 
| ERROR_prim | 
  Identifies the primitive that caused the error. | 
| NPI_error | 
  Contains the network provider interface (NPI) error code. | 
| UNIX_error | 
  Contains the system error code. This parameter can only be nonzero if the value of the NPI_error parameter is NSYSERR. | 
Error Codes
The following error codes can be returned:
| NBADADDR | 
  Indicates the specified network address was in an incorrect format, or the address contained illegal information. | 
| NBADOPT | 
  Indicates the specified options values were in an incorrect format or contained illegal information. | 
| NNOADDR | 
  Indicates the NS provider could not allocate an address. | 
| NOUTSTATE | 
  Indicates the primitive was issued from an invalid state. | 
| NBADSEQ | 
  Indicates the specified sequence number was incorrect or illegal. | 
| NBADDATA | 
  Indicates the specified amount of user data was outside the range supported by the NS provider. | 
| NSYSERR | 
  Indicates a system error. The error is indicated in the primitive. | 
| NNOTSUPPORT | 
   Indicates the specified primitive type is not known to the NS provider. | 
| NODDCUD | 
  Indicates an odd-length call user data string. | 
Implementation Specifics
The N_ERROR_ACK primitive is part of X.25 Licensed Program.
