In Linux errno, code EISCONN is EISCONN. The official source describes it as “Transport endpoint is already connected”. Its concrete cause depends on the operation and surrounding message.

Context to inspect

  • The surrounding operation, version and subsystem determine the actual cause.
  • The same numeric value can mean something different in another namespace.

Safe first checks

  1. Confirm which product, protocol or subsystem produced the code.
  2. Read the full surrounding error message and inspect relevant logs.
  3. Compare the code with the linked authoritative documentation before changing configuration.

Important context
