There isn't a 1:1 relation. Result codes should be used to define 
different types or categories of errors. So, for example, different 
exceptions that have the same consequence (like not being able to read a 
specific file) should use the same result code, and could have a more 
detailed explanation (different for each case) about what caused the error.

Don't know if you have seen it already, but there's a page on the wiki 
about result codes:
