How do you convert an iPhone OSStatus code to some

问题:

I am getting more than a little sick of this iPhone SDK and its documentation...

I am calling AudioConverterNew

in the documentation under Returns: it says "returns a status code" ... really...

so far, through playing around with the parameters I have only been able to get two different errors neither of which are listed at the bottom of the Audio Converter reference.

they are 'mrep' and '?tmf' (casting the OSStatus to a char array) but the specific codes aren't really the point.

as far as I can tell, random error codes are defined in random files, so you can't just search one file, I can't find a help document that just lets you search for an error code to get more info, and from what I can tell, in OS X you can use GetMacOSStatusErrorString() to convert an error to something useful, but there is no iPhone equivalent?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

ok, so casting them gives them in reverse (something I checked for 'mrep' but was not there either way round) , fmt? is in the list for the Audio Converter api, and is pretty self explanatory if a bit vague, but fair enough, still 'perm' isn't there (although it might be something to do with the simulator not supporting aac decoding) and my general question still stands.

回答1:

No. Not completely.

Some OSStatus are four-character-codes, so you can use (extracted from iPhone SDK's sample code "CAXException.h")

static char *FormatError(char *str, OSStatus error)
{
    // see if it appears to be a 4-char-code
    *(UInt32 *)(str + 1) = CFSwapInt32HostToBig(error);
    if (isprint(str[1]) && isprint(str[2]) && isprint(str[3]) && isprint(str[4])) {
        str[0] = str[5] = '\'';
        str[6] = '\0';
    } else {
        // no, format it as an integer
        sprintf(str, "%d", (int)error);
    }
    return str;
}

(See iOS/C: Convert "integer" into four character string for some more ways to convert fourcc into string, including Swift)

NSError's NSOSStatusErrorDomain is able to decode some OS errors. See @tomk's answer.

If you don't need to decode the number in program for the user, you may use the macerror script to manually find out the meaning, as mentioned in @lros's answer. The list of OSStatus supported can be found from its source code in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/Mac/Errors.pm.

There is also an online service http://osstatus.com/ collecting errors from all public frameworks. They are still not really complete e.g. the mapping to -12792 mentioned in the comment is missing. Probably it is a code from a private framework.

回答2:

OSStatus is a signed integer value. You cannot convert or "cast" it to a string. You can convert it to a NSError like this:

NSError *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:NSOSStatusErrorDomain code:osStatus userInfo:nil];

回答3:

I recently ran across another approach: the macerror command. Print out the OSStatus value as a signed integer. Then in a terminal window (on your Mac, not your iDevice!) type for example macerror -50. It will respond with a brief description. Obviously this is only helpful for you, during development.

回答4:

Here is the code I wrote, hope it save you some typing... er, don't know how to make it show up correctly.

- (NSString *)OSStatusToStr:(OSStatus)st
{
    switch (st) {
        case kAudioFileUnspecifiedError:
            return @"kAudioFileUnspecifiedError";

        case kAudioFileUnsupportedFileTypeError:
            return @"kAudioFileUnsupportedFileTypeError";

        case kAudioFileUnsupportedDataFormatError:
            return @"kAudioFileUnsupportedDataFormatError";

        case kAudioFileUnsupportedPropertyError:
            return @"kAudioFileUnsupportedPropertyError";

        case kAudioFileBadPropertySizeError:
            return @"kAudioFileBadPropertySizeError";

        case kAudioFilePermissionsError:
            return @"kAudioFilePermissionsError";

        case kAudioFileNotOptimizedError:
            return @"kAudioFileNotOptimizedError";

        case kAudioFileInvalidChunkError:
            return @"kAudioFileInvalidChunkError";

        case kAudioFileDoesNotAllow64BitDataSizeError:
            return @"kAudioFileDoesNotAllow64BitDataSizeError";

        case kAudioFileInvalidPacketOffsetError:
            return @"kAudioFileInvalidPacketOffsetError";

        case kAudioFileInvalidFileError:
            return @"kAudioFileInvalidFileError";

        case kAudioFileOperationNotSupportedError:
            return @"kAudioFileOperationNotSupportedError";

        case kAudioFileNotOpenError:
            return @"kAudioFileNotOpenError";

        case kAudioFileEndOfFileError:
            return @"kAudioFileEndOfFileError";

        case kAudioFilePositionError:
            return @"kAudioFilePositionError";

        case kAudioFileFileNotFoundError:
            return @"kAudioFileFileNotFoundError";

        default:
            return @"unknown error";
    }
}

[EDIT] --> This response only applies to OSX and not iOS

I know this is an old post, but I was reading the apple docs in a section related to keychains. They mention a method that is used to convert OSStatus errors into something readable.

SecCopyErrorMessageString

Returns a string explaining the meaning of a security result code.

SecCopyErrorMessageString (OSStatus status, void* reserved );

Useage:

NSString* ErrMsg = (__bridge_transfer NSString *) SecCopyErrorMessageString(theOSStatusError, NULL);

It worked for me with my keychain OSStatus errors. Does it work for you? You will need Security.Framework added to your project to use this method.

回答6:

Use the OSX calc program. Select "programmer" mode in presentation menu. Then type your code in decimal représentation. Then choose the "ascii" button and the calc will show you the 4 char translation such as "!init", "!cat", etc...

回答7:

I recently found this really nice website that's worked for every status value I've thrown at it. It's a lot more user friendly than grepping through the framework header files: http://www.osstatus.com/

回答8:

I combined a few answers. Actually I were looking something like „throw errorForStatusCode(status)”. But in the end achieved:

    guard status == errSecSuccess else {
        throw  NSError(domain: NSOSStatusErrorDomain, code: Int(status), userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: SecCopyErrorMessageString(status, nil) ?? "Undefined error"])
    }

SecCopyErrorMessageString is available from iOS 11.3 https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/1542001-security_framework_result_codes

回答9:

Most time maybe you just need to find the error code in the .h files

I just made a python script to find the code (when you debug/print a osstatus code)

https://github.com/sprhawk/MyGist/blob/master/tools/find_osstatus_error.py

回答10:

If you want to create a command line utility, for use during development and support, then you can still use the deprecated Carbon methods, even in 10.9 (Mavericks). You obviously can't use this in an app you are submitting to Apple for inclusion in the App Stores.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <CoreServices/CoreServices.h>

int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
    @autoreleasepool {
        for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++) {
            char *endp;
            long value = strtol(argv[i], &endp, 10);
            if (*endp == '\0') {
                printf("%10ld: %s (%s)\n",
                    value,
                    GetMacOSStatusCommentString((OSStatus)value),
                    GetMacOSStatusErrorString((OSStatus)value));
            } else {
                fprintf(stderr, "Invalid OSStatus code '%s' ignored\n", argv[i]);
            }
        }
    }
}

Compile with:

$ clang -fobjc-arc -o osstatus osstatus.m -framework Foundation -framework CoreServices

copy it somewhere in your $PATH:

$ cp osstatus ~/bin

and feed it error codes from your log files or error reports:

$ osstatus -47
   -47: File is busy (delete) (fBsyErr)

回答11:

Failing a description string, it's convenient to convert OSStatus values to strings that look like their four-character definitions. At least then you can grep headers in hopes of finding a comment about what the status means.

// declaration:  extern CFStringRef CreateTypeStringWithOSType(OSType inType);

OSStatus result = ...;

if (result != noErr) {
    NSString *statusString = (NSString *)CreateTypeStringWithOSType(result);
    NSLog(@"Error while $VERBing: %@", statusString);
    [statusString release]; // because "Create..."
    statusString = nil;
}

回答12:

This is not a direct answer to OP's question, but I think it will be useful to whoever is concerned with these OSStatus return codes:

Search for keyword "Result Codes" in Xcode documentation (Organizer) and we get a more or less categorized return codes documentation sections in the "System Guides" result.

If you just need to use some codes directly in your custom functions, they are very helpful.

回答13:

OSStatus errors can be bytes representing a 4-char code, or any number of errors defined in MacErrors.h.

If an OSStatus error is 0 or noErr that means you have no error.

Or, try looking up your error number in MacErrors.h:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/CarbonHeaders/CarbonHeaders-18.1/MacErrors.h

回答14:

This might be help.

static NSString *stringForOSStatus(OSStatus status)
{
    NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.security"];
    NSString *key = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", status];
    return [bundle localizedStringForKey:key value:key table:@"SecErrorMessages"];
}

回答15:

for Security framework on IOS given that SecCopyErrorMessageString is missing on the platform it's DYI

add error codes at the bottom of

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Security/Reference/keychainservices

to your very own switch.

for example

        let status : OSStatus = SecItemAdd(query as CFDictionaryRef, nil)
        switch status {
        case errSecSuccess:
            return nil
        case errSecAuthFailed:
            // that's the result of dumping kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly into the query
            return "changing app lock type on a device without fingerprint and/or passcode setup is not allowed".localized
        default:
            return "unhandled case: implement this"
        }

回答16:

This is what you need https://www.osstatus.com/. Just search for given OSStatus.

回答17:

For iOS 11.3+, I'm using an extension on OSStatus…

extension OSStatus {

    var error: NSError? {
        guard self != errSecSuccess else { return nil }

        let message = SecCopyErrorMessageString(self, nil) as String? ?? "Unknown error"

        return NSError(domain: NSOSStatusErrorDomain, code: Int(self), userInfo: [
            NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: message])
    }
}

which you can call like…

let status = SecItemAdd(attributes as CFDictionary, nil)

if let error = status.error {
    throw error
}    
// etc

Having written this I noticed this is very close to @RomanMykitchak's earlier answer (so please give him the upvote) - but I'll leave it here as the extension might prove useful to someone.

回答18:

I created an OSStatus extension that you may find useful. It logs a full error message for audio related errors, otherwise when possible the four-character-code, otherwise the OSStatus number that you could look-up in https://www.osstatus.com

It furthers adds useful information like the file, the function and the line where the error occurred.

Here is the code:

let isDebug = true

//**************************

    func asString() -> String? {
        let n = UInt32(bitPattern: self.littleEndian)
        guard let n1 = UnicodeScalar((n >> 24) & 255), n1.isASCII else { return nil }
        guard let n2 = UnicodeScalar((n >> 16) & 255), n2.isASCII else { return nil }
        guard let n3 = UnicodeScalar((n >>  8) & 255), n3.isASCII else { return nil }
        guard let n4 = UnicodeScalar( n        & 255), n4.isASCII else { return nil }
        return String(n1) + String(n2) + String(n3) + String(n4)
    } // asString
