IPC Result Condition Code

Condition code format:




ec
error code: ec\(\neq 0\) ==> IPC failed
consult the manual for the meaning of error codes
frequent reason: Cut message -- receiver's buffer was too small, not enough strings, etc.
Note: this value is also delivered as the return value of the call when using the C library interface
m
map bit: \(m=1\) ==> fpages were received

Other bits have to do with clans and chiefs, consult the manual for explanation.
