Contributing to the error codes database

To have a coherent database, you must follow certain guidelines when contributing to the database. When submitting a Pull Request, indicate which error code names and/or descriptions, if any, are official names/descriptions. Official names will always be kept as-is, while official descriptions may have to be reworked.

Non-official error codes should respect the following rules:

• Names always begins with SCE_xxx_ERROR_
  • Replace xxx with either:
    • Facility name if clearly identified (i.e. RUDP)
    • Sub-facility name for multi-purpose facilities (i.e.VSH or CODEC facilities)
    • Module name, in capital letters, with extension and leading Sce stripped if necessary (i.e. lib_dyld.suprx -> LIB_DYLD)
• Rest of the name is a short description of the error
  • Non-trivial errors can have a longer name, but try to keep it as short as possible
  • You can also provide no name, and just a description of the error. In such cases, set the "name" key to Unknown error name (0xXXXX) where XXXX is the low 16-bits of the error code
    • (0x80020004 -> Unknown error name (0x0004))
• Description of the error must:
  • Be a passive voice sentense
    • ❌ You provided an incorrect UID
    • ✅ The UID provided is incorrect
  • Start with the subject or its adjective(s)
    • ❌ The UID provided is incorrect
    • ✅ Incorrect UID has been provided
  • Leave out unnecessary words and grammatical constructs
    • ❌ Incorrect UID has been provided
    • ✅ Incorrect UID provided
  • Try to be consistent with the Sony descriptions
    • Check the KERNEL facility errors for reference
• Description can contain additional information
  • Separate the error description and additional information with a -
    • Example: Not allowed to call this routine - generally a IsSceShell/IsRootApp/IsSIEApp check failure

Please check for grammatical and syntaxic errors - typos will not be allowed. An cleanup of the existing codes to respect those rules as much as possible is ongoing.
