sysiocod errors are system specific, and are reported directly from the operating system. For WIndows you can use the built-in helpmsg system to obtain the meaning of these errors:
>net helpmsg <msg_no>
From Unix, you need to reference the errno.h header file. Here is a typical file (from AIX) provided as a handy reference.
