Codes and Formats

This appendix provides information about the status codes, and the import and export formats.

Status Returns

Network Registrar returns status information on the first line of information written to the standard output stream. If there is more data, Network Registrar displays this information on additional lines.

The first line of the status is similar to a status line from an FTP server. The first token on the line is the status code. It is an integer number intended to be machine-readable; the remainder of the line is text that is intended to be human-readable.

The status codes are all three-digit integer decimal numbers. The first digit corresponds to the values described in Table A-1.

For anything other than an error, Network Registrar assumes that the requested operation was completed; however, some warning messages signal a condition that must be corrected. Unless a fatal error occurs, the command line interface will keep running in interactive mode. Fatal errors imply that something serious happened and that you must restart the Network Registrar command line processor.
