PERROR(1) MySQL Database System PERROR(1) NAME perror - display MySQL error message information SYNOPSIS perror [options] errorcode ... DESCRIPTION perror displays the error message for MySQL or operating system error codes. Invoke perror like this: perror [options] errorcode ... perror attempts to be flexible in understanding its arguments. For example, for the ER_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_VAR error, perror understands any of these arguments: 1231, 001231, MY-1231, or MY-001231, or ER_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_VAR. $> perror 1231 MySQL error code MY-001231 (ER_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_VAR): Variable '%-.64s' can't be set to the value of '%-.200s' If an error number is in the range where MySQL and operating system errors overlap, perror displays both error messages: $> perror 1 13 OS error code 1: Operation not permitted MySQL error code MY-000001: Can't create/write to file '%s' (OS errno %d - %s) OS error code 13: Permission denied MySQL error code MY-000013: Can't get stat of '%s' (OS errno %d - %s) To obtain the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code, use the ndb_perror utility. 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. • --ndb Print the error message for a MySQL Cluster error code. This option was removed in MySQL 8.0.13. Use the ndb_perror utility instead. • --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. COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1997, 2026, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
