errno.h(0P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   errno.h(0P)

PROLOG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

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 POSIX.1‐2017
       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 or definition for
       errno.  The symbol errno shall expand to a modifiable lvalue of type
       int.  It is unspecified whether errno is a macro or an identifier
       declared with external linkage. If a macro definition is suppressed in
       order to access an actual object, or a program defines an identifier
       with the name errno, the behavior is undefined.

       The <errno.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
       expand to integer constant expressions with type int, distinct positive
       values (except as noted below), and which shall be suitable for use in
       #if preprocessing directives:
