Enum file_descriptors::SpecialFileOpenError

pub enum SpecialFileOpenError {
    Common(CreationError),
    WouldBlock,
    Interrupted,
    InvalidPath(InvalidPathReason),
    Terminal(TerminalSettingsError),
}

An error that can occur when opening one end of a FIFO (a named pipe) or a character device.

Variants

Common(CreationError)

Errors common to opening or creation of most file descriptors.

WouldBlock

A (possibly mandatory) file lock is held on the special file path.

Rationally, this would not seem to make sense but the Linux documentation doesn't make it clear if it is possible or not.

If this is encountered then an orderly shutdown is probably the only course of action as it is not possible to epoll for lock status changes on files that haven't even be opened.

Interrupted

EINTR occurred; this can be handled by either re-trying the open of a FIFO or might actual be fatal depending on the signal handling strategy in use.

InvalidPath(InvalidPathReason)

Invalid path.

Terminal(TerminalSettingsError)

Not a terminal.
