NAME
intro - introduction to system calls and error numbers
USAGE
#include <errno.h>
DESCRIPTION
This section describes all of the system calls. Most of
these calls have one or more error returns. An error condi-
tion is indicated by an otherwise impossible returned value.
This is almost always -1; the individual descriptions
specify the details. An error number is also made available
in the external variable errno. Errno is not cleared on
successful calls, so it should be tested only after an error
has been indicated.
Each system call description attempts to list all possible
error numbers. The following is a complete list of the
error numbers and their names as defined in <errno.h>.
