<h4 class="subsection">E.13.4 The <code>F</code> Reply Packet</h4>
<p><a name="index-file_002di_002fo-reply-packet-3599"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bF_007d-reply-packet-3600"></a>
The <code>F</code> reply packet has the following format:
<dl>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">F</span><var>retcode</var><span class="samp">,</span><var>errno</var><span class="samp">,</span><var>Ctrl-C flag</var><span class="samp">;</span><var>call-specific attachment</var></samp>&rsquo;<dd>
<var>retcode</var> is the return code of the system call as hexadecimal value.
<p><var>errno</var> is the <code>errno</code> set by the call, in protocol-specific
representation.
This parameter can be omitted if the call was successful.
<p><var>Ctrl-C flag</var> is only sent if the user requested a break. In this
case, <var>errno</var> must be sent as well, even if the call was successful.
The <var>Ctrl-C flag</var> itself consists of the character &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>&rsquo;:
<pre class="smallexample"> F0,0,C
</pre>
<p class="noindent">or, if the call was interrupted before the host call has been performed:
<pre class="smallexample"> F-1,4,C
</pre>
<p class="noindent">assuming 4 is the protocol-specific representation of <code>EINTR</code>.
