Error Code Lookup Tool

Error Code Lookup tool can be used to translate errors reported by windows.

Here's a reprint of "Error Code Lookup Tool.doc" included in the Err package:

Error Code Lookup Readme
Determine error values from decimal and hexadecimal error codes in Microsoft Windows® operating systems. The tool can look up one or more values at a time.
Installation
From the Microsoft Web site, download the tool to a specified directory.
Using Error Code Lookup
Usage: err [value] [value]…
where must be of one of the following forms:
Decorated hex (0x54f)
Implicit hex (54f)
Ambiguous (1359)
Exact string (=ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR)
Substring (:INTERNAL_ERROR)
All values on the command line will be looked up in Exchange’s internal tables and presented to you. If available, informational data associated with the value or values will also be shown (see example below). By default, the tool searches all tables, but you can restrict the output to those tables you deem appropriate by adding “/” to the beginning of the command line.
Example:
> err /winerror.h /ntstatus.h 0
# winerror.h selected.
# ntstatus.h selected.
# for hex 0x0 / decimal 0:
STATUS_WAIT_0 ntstatus.h
ERROR_SUCCESS winerror.h
# The operation completed successfully.
NO_ERROR winerror.h
SEC_E_OK winerror.h
S_OK winerror.h
# 5 matches found for “0”
