Error messages

I took a quick look, but I'm not seeing a location that defines the various error codes and their meanings... anyone point me in the right direction here?

Yes, I need that info as well..



Encoding...(video frames encoded, percent complete). Total frames will reset when doing 2pass.
(-1, 0%)

Done!
Encoder Status

flix->errno_(flixerrno:-3, syserrno:183)

Wouldn't it be nice to have the error codes documented somewhere?

..almost as much as having documentation that is readable by someone other than the C dev who wrote it, but after 10 years in the software industry, I know that's just wishful thinking ;)

but I need the error meanings on Linux.
For instance:
Error! return=0, flixerr=3, syserr=32
Error! return=0, flixerr=4, syserr=0
Error! return=0, flixerr=4, syserr=104
Error! return=0, flixerr=4, syserr=32

It looks like "flixerr=3" has to do with opening the file, and flixerr=4 has to do with decoding the file. When I run 'perror 32' on linux, I find that error 32 means "broken pipe." 104 means "connection reset by peer."

However in the thread about "flixerr 4, system error 10", while "system error 10" means "no child processes" (perror 10), the docs say that it's a missing codec. So the system errors don't necessarily map to the perror output.

Anyway, a more definitive list would help me :) I need to know if the error is "fixable" by restarting the system and retrying the encode (ie, if it's a memory problem) or if it's fatal.
