0x889

0x889 is a hexadecimal value commonly encountered in computing, particularly in the context of error codes, memory addresses, and low-level programming. The prefix "0x" denotes a hexadecimal (base-16) number, where each digit represents four binary digits (bits). In this case, 0x889 translates to the decimal value 2185 (since 8×4096 + 8×256 + 9×16 + 9×1 = 2185).

One notable appearance of 0x889 is in the context of Windows error codes, specifically in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). It is associated with the error code **STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_EXISTS**, which indicates that an object name already exists in the system. This error typically arises in kernel-mode drivers when attempting to create a device, port, or other system objects with a name that conflicts with an existing one. Developers must ensure unique naming conventions to avoid this issue.

In other contexts, 0x889 may appear as a memory address or a flag in low-level programming, such as assembly language or firmware development. For example, it could represent a specific register offset, a checksum value, or an opcode in custom instruction sets. However, its meaning depends entirely on the specific implementation or protocol being used.

Due to its arbitrary nature, 0x889 is not widely recognized outside of specialized technical documentation. Its significance varies by application, and further context is required to interpret its role accurately. For developers working with Windows drivers or low-level systems programming, understanding such hexadecimal values is essential for debugging and ensuring proper system interactions.
