 |Code|Message|Description|
 -------|----|------|------------
- `UNKNOWN` | unknown error | Generic error returned when the error does not have an API classification.
- `UNSUPPORTED` | The operation is unsupported. | The operation was unsupported due to a missing implementation or invalid set of parameters.
- `UNAUTHORIZED` | access to the requested resource is not authorized | The access controller denied access for the operation on a resource. Often this will be accompanied by a 401 Unauthorized response status.
- `DIGEST_INVALID` | provided digest did not match uploaded content | When a blob is uploaded, the registry will check that the content matches the digest provided by the client. The error may include a detail structure with the key "digest", including the invalid digest string. This error may also be returned when a manifest includes an invalid layer digest.
- `SIZE_INVALID` | provided length did not match content length | When a layer is uploaded, the provided size will be checked against the uploaded content. If they do not match, this error will be returned.
- `NAME_INVALID` | invalid repository name | Invalid repository name encountered either during manifest validation or any API operation.
- `TAG_INVALID` | manifest tag did not match URI | During a manifest upload, if the tag in the manifest does not match the uri tag, this error will be returned.
- `NAME_UNKNOWN` | repository name not known to registry | This is returned if the name used during an operation is unknown to the registry.
- `MANIFEST_UNKNOWN` | manifest unknown | This error is returned when the manifest, identified by name and tag is unknown to the repository.
- `MANIFEST_INVALID` | manifest invalid | During upload, manifests undergo several checks ensuring validity. If those checks fail, this error may be returned, unless a more specific error is included. The detail will contain information the failed validation.
- `MANIFEST_UNVERIFIED` | manifest failed signature verification | During manifest upload, if the manifest fails signature verification, this error will be returned.
  `BLOB_UNKNOWN` | blob unknown to registry | This error may be returned when a blob is unknown to the registry in a specified repository. This can be returned with a standard get or if a manifest references an unknown layer during upload.
- `BLOB_UPLOAD_UNKNOWN` | blob upload unknown to registry | If a blob upload has been cancelled or was never started, this error code may be returned.
  `BLOB_UPLOAD_INVALID` | blob upload invalid | The blob upload encountered an error and can no longer proceed.
+ `BLOB_UPLOAD_UNKNOWN` | blob upload unknown to registry | If a blob upload has been cancelled or was never started, this error code may be returned.

The error may include a detail structure with the key "digest", including the invalid digest string. This error may also be returned when a manifest includes an invalid layer digest.
