Hi Pandey,

I think this kp is some allias or some executebale linking to some detailed command. Just do

#which kp
and then post the contents of that file.

It means whoever wrote kp, probably did a read(2) system call and checked the return value (number of bytes read) against the number of bytes they were trying to read. If the two weren't equal they have treated it as an error (which it isn't) and printed errno (which is zero because it isn't an error!). They should learn to code better.
