Special exit codes for build failure

1xx status codes are used when requested builds failed. The following codes are in use:

  • 100 Generic build failure

    The builder process returned with a non-zero exit code.

  • 101 Build timeout

    The build was aborted because it did not complete within the specified timeout.

  • 102 Hash mismatch

    The build output was rejected because it does not match the outputHash attribute of the derivation.

  • 104 Not deterministic

    The build succeeded in check mode but the resulting output is not binary reproducible.

With the --keep-going flag it's possible for multiple failures to occur. In this case the 1xx status codes are or combined using bitwise OR.
