Proceeding on the assumption it is not translocated: error domain=nsposixerrordomain code=1 “operation not permitted”

The error message you provided indicates that an operation was not permitted due to a specific error domain and code. Let’s break down the error and provide some clarification.

Error Domain: nsposixerrordomain

Error Code: 1

The “nsposixerrordomain” error domain refers to errors related to POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) functions. These functions include various low-level system operations.

The specific error code “1” corresponds to the error message “operation not permitted”. This error code is typically encountered when a process or application tries to perform an operation that requires certain permissions or privileges but is not allowed to do so.

Here are a few examples to help illustrate this error:

  1. Example 1: Trying to delete a file without proper write permissions on the file or directory.

                
                   $ rm /path/to/file.txt
                   rm: /path/to/file.txt: Operation not permitted
                
             
  2. Example 2: Attempting to bind a socket to a privileged port (e.g., ports below 1024) without root/administrator privileges.

                
                   socket.bind((host, port))
                   OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
                
             
  3. Example 3: Trying to execute a restricted system command without proper permissions.

                
                   $ sudo lsof -i :80
                   lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs
                   Output information may be incomplete.
                   COMMAND  PID      USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
                   chrome  1111     user   32u  IPv4  25461      0t0  TCP *:http (LISTEN)
                
             

In each of these examples, the operation being performed requires certain permissions or privileges that the process or application executing the operation does not possess. Hence, the “operation not permitted” error is returned within the nsposixerrordomain error domain with the code 1.
