Missing ZAPI errno definitions?

kevingraham — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:27:50 GMT

In the 4.1 SDK (and earlier versions) many of the ZAPI calls for CIFS (e.g. cifs-share-list-iter-start, cifs-setup-verify-name) specify a possible return value of ESVCDISABLED, however this constant doesn't appear to be defined in the NaErrno stubs (at least for Perl, Python, and Ruby).

Adding to the confusion, some ZAPI calls that would be used to configure/enable the service (e.g. cifs-start and cifs-setup) also list a possible ESVCDISABLED error state. For most use cases of those APIs, it would be expected/normal for the service to be disabled (since they would be invoked to affect the service state).

Is this a documentation error, or am I missing something?

Hi,

This constant is indeed present in NaErrno files:

NaErrno.pm: line 1604

use constant ESVCDISABLED => 13200;

NaErrno.py: line 438

ESVCDISABLED = 13200

NaErrno.rb: line 438

ESVCDISABLED = 13200

Argh, I made the same mistake the SDK docs did. ESVCDISABLED is there for cifs-setup and cifs-setup-*.

However, cifs-session-list-* and cifs-shares-list-* return values reference the elusive ESERVICEDISABLED (ironically, the one that is present is the case where it's usage seems ambiguous)..
