Currently ST_OK and ST_NA are the only values defined to communicate
status of a request from a client. Client doesn't know what failed
and prints a cryptic error message that something failed.
This patch series adds more error codes to clearly indicate what failed.
For example, when client sends request to import a device that isn't
export-able, server can send a specific error code to the client.
The first patch moves existing error codes to a common library header
and adds more codes. It also adds an interface to map the code to a
string to print messages from tools.
The second patch changes the server/host to return the right codes
in reply messages when client request fails.
The third patch changes the clinet tools to recognize the new error
codes and print messages.
With this change the messages say why a request failed:
- when a client requests a device that is already exported:
usbip attach -r server_name -b 3-10.2
usbip: error: Attach Request for 3-10.2 failed - Device busy (exported)
- when a client requests a device that isn't exportable,
usbip attach -r server_name -b 3-10.4
usbip: error: Attach Request for 3-10.4 failed - Device not found
