I have a Linux operating system, and sometimes I get this error, “EINTR” when I type some commands in the terminal. Can someone explain to me what does this error mean and if it is a serious issue?

Details About The Error In The Linux Operating System

This kind of error is common in both UNIX and LINUX operating system and no it is not a fatal error, but it just means that whatever you have typed in, you have to try it again. You can retry it again after some time or immediately it doesn’t matter because it will work anyway.

In the future, if you want to know details about the error that you are getting you can use the following function:

perror(” function name”);

This function is useful because it will tell you what exactly is the error and the reason for it.
