9 Error Messages

This section describes some of the error messages you might get from find, xargs, or locate, explains them and in some cases provides advice as to what you should do about this.

This manual is written in English. The GNU findutils software features translated error messages for many languages. For this reason where possible we try to make the error messages produced by the programs self-explanatory. This approach avoids asking people to figure out which English-language error message the test they actually saw might correspond to. Error messages which are self-explanatory will not normally be described or discussed in this document. For those messages which are discussed in this document, only the English-language version of the message will be listed.
