Oerr

From Oracle FAQ

Oerr is an Oracle utility that extracts error messages with suggested actions from the standard Oracle message files. This utility is very useful as it can extract OS-specific errors that are not in the generic Error Messages and Codes Manual.

oerr for Unix[edit]

Oerr is installed with the Oracle Database software and is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.

Example:

$ oerr ora 600
ora-00600: internal error code, arguments: [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s]
 *Cause:  This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program
          exceptions.  This indicates that a process has encountered an
          exceptional condition.
*Action: Report as a bug - the first argument is the internal error number

oerr for Windows[edit]

Oracle doesn't ship an "oerr" utility for Windows platforms. However, a perl script is available to simulate oerr behavior on Windows.
