NAME
errno.h - system error numbers
SYNOPSIS
#include <errno.h>
DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers to the ISO C standard.
The ISO C standard only requires the symbols [EDOM], [EILSEQ], and
[ERANGE] to be defined.
The <errno.h> header shall provide a declaration for errno and give
positive values for the following symbolic constants. Their values
shall be unique except as noted below.
E2BIG Argument list too long.
EACCES Permission denied.
EADDRINUSE

EAGAIN Resource unavailable, try again (may be the same value as
[EWOULDBLOCK]).
EALREADY

EBADF Bad file descriptor.
EBADMSG
Bad message.
EBUSY Device or resource busy.
ECANCELED
Operation canceled.
ECHILD No child processes.
ECONNABORTED
Connection aborted.
ECONNREFUSED
Connection refused.
