!!!No such file or directory
This error occurs when a file or directory cannot be found. Note, this can happen when creating a file if one of the parent directories doesn't exist, eg:
+<verbatim>
touch /etc/doesnotexist/foo
-will complain with "No such file or directory" since /etc/doesnotexist does not exist
+</verbatim>
+
will complain with "No such file or directory" since /etc/doesnotexist does not exist.
-You step in the stream, but the water has moved on. That file is not there
.
+This error can be returned by many system calls that work with files
.
