### ERR_ARG_NOT_ITERABLE

The `'ERR_ARG_NOT_ITERABLE'` error code is used generically to identify that an
iterable argument (i.e. a value that works with `for...of` loops) is required,
but not provided to a Node.js API.

### ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST

An error with the `'ERR_INVALID_FILE_URL_HOST'` code may be thrown when a
Node.js API that consumes `file:` URLs (such as certain functions in the
[`fs`][] module) encounters a file URL with an incompatible host. Currently,
this situation can only occur on Unix-like systems, where only `localhost` or
an empty host is supported.

### ERR_INVALID_TUPLE

An error with code `'ERR_INVALID_TUPLE'` is thrown when an element in the
`iterable` provided to the [WHATWG][WHATWG URL API] [`URLSearchParams`
constructor][`new URLSearchParams(iterable)`] does not represent a `[name,
value]` tuple – that is, if an element is not iterable, or does not consist of
exactly two elements.

### ERR_INVALID_URL

An error using the `'ERR_INVALID_URL'` code is thrown when an invalid URL is
passed to the [WHATWG][WHATWG URL API] [`URL` constructor][`new URL(input)`] to

`'input'` that contains the URL that failed to parse.

### ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME

The code `'ERR_INVALID_URL_SCHEME'` is used generically to signify an attempt
to use a URL of an incompatible scheme (aka protocol) for a specific purpose.
It is currently only used in the [WHATWG URL API][] support in the [`fs`][]
module (which only accepts URLs with `'file'` scheme), but may be used in other
Node.js APIs as well in the future.

<a id="ERR_MISSING_ARGS"></a>
### ERR_MISSING_ARGS

The `'ERR_MISSING_ARGS'` error code is a generic error code for instances where
a required argument of a Node.js API is not passed. This is currently only used
in the [WHATWG URL API][] for strict compliance with the specification (which
in some cases may accept `func(undefined)` but not `func()`). In most native
Node.js APIs, `func(undefined)` and `func()` are treated identically, and the
[`ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE`][] error code may be used instead.

indication of a bug within Node.js itself.
