Arg list too long

Arg list too long

Cause
The system could not handle the number of arguments given to a command or
program when it combined those arguments with the environment’s exported shell
variables. The argument list limit is the size of the argument list plus the size of the
environment’s exported shell variables.
Action
The easiest solution is to reduce the size of the parent process environment by
unsetting extraneous environment variables. (See the man page for the shell you are
using to find out how to list and change your environment variables.) Then run the
program again.
Technical Notes
An argument list longer than ARG_MAX bytes was presented to a member of the
exec(2) family of system calls.
The symbolic name for this error is E2BIG, errno=7.

Argument out of domain
Cause
This message is a programming error or a data input error.
Action
Ask the program’s author to fix this condition or to supply data in a different format.
Technical Notes
This indicates an attempt to evaluate a mathematical programming function at a
point where its value is not defined. The argument of a programming function in the
math package is out of the domain of the function. This could happen when taking
the square root, power, or log of a negative number, when computing a power to a
non-integer, or when passing an out-of-range argument to a hyperbolic programming
function.
To help pinpoint a program’s math errors, use the matherr(3M) facility.
The symbolic name for this error is EDOM, errno=33.

Arguments too long
Cause
This C shell error message indicates that too many arguments follow a command.
For example, this can happen by invoking rm * in a huge directory. The C shell
cannot handle more than 1706 arguments.
Action
Temporarily start a Bourne shell with sh(1) and run the command again. The
Bourne shell dynamically allocates command line arguments. Return to your original
shell by typing exit.
