# textFileBusy

Text file busy.

```
static var textFileBusy: Errno { get }
```

## Discussion

The new process was a pure procedure (shared text) file,
which was already open for writing by another process,
or while the pure procedure file was being executed,
an open call requested write access.

The corresponding C error is `ETXTBSY`.
