-        * FiberIsCancelled: cancelled by an outside code

+        * ``FiberIsCancelled``: cancelled by an outside code
+        * ``TimedOut``: since version 3.2.0. The error means that the method has not reached the positive result but has reached the defined **timeout**.
+        * ``ChannelIsClosed``: since version 3.2.0. The error is returned when the target popen handle is closed from another fiber.
 
         The formatted result is a process status table (the same as the
         ``status`` component of the table returned by
         :ref:`popen_handle:info() <popen-info>`).
