Hi,

I am updating the description of intro(3) and have stumbled upon some
challenges:

#define EAUTH           80              /* Authentication error */
#define ENEEDAUTH       81              /* Need authenticator */
#define EOVERFLOW       84              /* Value too large to be stored in
data type */
#define ECANCELED       85              /* Operation canceled */

I think I know what EOVERFLOW does, if one tries to put a certain number in
an int declared variable which is greater than int can take it will
generate an EOVERFLOW.

Is EAUTH a basic uid<>password authentication failure, or is it broader
or..?

ECANCELED? Is this our basic CTRL-C?

Thanks for any explanations on this part =)

'gards,
