     The returned `err_code` is always one of `0`, `1`, `2`, and `3`. An `err_code` of `0` means that no error occurred and that the IC could enqueue the call. In this case, the call will either be delivered, returned because the destination canister does not exist, returned due to a lack of resources within the IC, or returned because of an out of cycles condition. This also means that exactly one of the reply or reject callbacks will be executed.
 
-    Non-``0` values of `err_code` indicate that the call could not be performed, and the semantics of the values are the same as for [reject codes](#reject-codes) (i.e., the `err_code` `1` has the semantics of `SYS_FATAL`, `2` of `SYS_TRANSIENT`, and `3` of `DESTINATION_INVALID`). A non-`0` code could arise due to a lack of resources within the IC, but also if the call would reduce the current cycle balance to a level below where the canister would be frozen. No callbacks are executed in this case.
