I am using the sendto() function and it is returning error code 14: EFAULT. The man pages describe it as: "An invalid user space address was specified for an argument." I was convinced that this was talking about the IP address I was specifying, but now I suspect it may be the memory address of the message buffer that it is referring to - I can't find any clarification on this anywhere,

can anyone clear this up? Thanks, J c sockets udp sendto share|improve this question asked Feb 13 '12 at 12:59 aktungmak 1391110 something inside the const struct msghdr *message argument you gave to sendmsg is invalid, post some relevant code if you want help on more specifics. –nos Feb 13 '12 at 13:14 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 16 down vote accepted EFAULT It happen if the memory address of some argument passed to sendto (or more generally to any system call) is invalid. Think of it as a sort of SIGSEGV in kernel land regarding your syscall. For instance, if you pass a null or invalid buffer pointer (for reading, writing, sending, recieving...), you get that See errno(3), sendto(2) etc... man pages. EFAULT is not related to IP addresses at all. share|improve this answer answered Feb 13 '12 at 13:05 Basile Starynkevitch 122k894201 Aha okay thankyou, i'll check my buffer pointer when I get home and see if thats fixes it! –aktungmak Feb 13 '12 at 13:34 yep, that did it! I had got some of my pointers confused, thankyou! –aktungmak Feb 17 '12 at 16:46 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and P

A similar error arises whatever I install with npm, e.g.: npm install -g npm npm http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9260937/unix-socket-error-14-efault-bad-address install -g eslint etc. I note that the problem is caused by a "bad address" message when running a mkdir command. I get the same "bad address" message when trying to run the mkdir command manually - this can, however, be solved by running "mkdir -p" instead to create intermediate directories. (Does the npm install script also need to be fixed to create intermediate directories on Debian, or is https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12630 there some other reason mkdir is failing?) Notes: (1) The permissions on my tmp directory are drwxrwxrwt and I am running the npm install command as root. All system packages are up-to-date (I have run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade). Other applications on my system (e.g. tmux) are able to create directories in tmp without any problems. (2) It seems other users have been having a similar problem (see #11953 and #10009) and that it has never been resolved. My npm-debug.log follows: 0 info it worked if it ends with ok 1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/nodejs', '/usr/bin/npm', 'install', 'npm', '-g' ] 2 info using npm@3.8.6 3 info using node@v6.1.0 4 silly loadCurrentTree Starting 5 silly install loadCurrentTree 6 silly install readGlobalPackageData 7 silly fetchPackageMetaData npm 8 silly fetchNamedPackageData npm 9 silly mapToRegistry name npm 10 silly mapToRegistry using default registry 11 silly mapToRegistry registry https://registry.npmjs.org/ 12 silly mapToRegistry data Result { 12 silly mapToRegistry raw: 'npm', 12 silly mapToRegistry scope: null, 12 silly mapToRegistry name: 'npm', 12 silly mapToRegistry rawSpec: '', 12 silly mapToRegistry spec: 'latest', 12 silly mapToRegistry type: 'tag' } 13 silly mapToRegistry uri https://registry.npmjs.org/npm 14 verbose request uri https://registry.npmjs.org/npm 15 verbose request no auth needed 16 info attempt registry request
