.SH NAME
errno.h
\(em system error numbers
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <errno.h>
.fi
.SH 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\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
.P
The ISO\ C standard only requires the symbols
.BR [EDOM] ,
.BR [EILSEQ] ,
and
.BR [ERANGE] 
to be defined.
.P
The
.IR <errno.h> 
header shall provide a declaration or definition for
.IR errno .
The symbol
.IR errno
shall expand to a modifiable lvalue of type
.BR int .
It is unspecified whether
.IR 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
.IR errno ,
the behavior is undefined.
.P
The
.IR <errno.h> 
header shall define the following macros which shall expand to
integer constant expressions with type
.BR int ,
distinct positive values (except as noted below), and which shall be
suitable for use in
.BR #if
preprocessing directives:
