75<p>The <code>F</code> reply packet has the following format:
76</p>
77<dl compact="compact">
78<dt>&lsquo;<samp>F<var>retcode</var>,<var>errno</var>,<var>Ctrl-C flag</var>;<var>call-specific attachment</var></samp>&rsquo;</dt>
79<dd>
80<p><var>retcode</var> is the return code of the system call as hexadecimal value.
81</p>
82<p><var>errno</var> is the <code>errno</code> set by the call, in protocol-specific
83representation.
84This parameter can be omitted if the call was successful.
85</p>
86<p><var>Ctrl-C flag</var> is only sent if the user requested a break.  In this
87case, <var>errno</var> must be sent as well, even if the call was successful.
88The <var>Ctrl-C flag</var> itself consists of the character &lsquo;<samp>C</samp>&rsquo;:
89</p>
90<div class="smallexample">
91<pre class="smallexample">F0,0,C
92</pre></div>
93
94<p>or, if the call was interrupted before the host call has been performed:
95</p>
96<div class="smallexample">
97<pre class="smallexample">F-1,4,C
98</pre></div>
99
100<p>assuming 4 is the protocol-specific representation of <code>EINTR</code>.
