NAME
     Errno - System errno constants

SYNOPSIS
	 use Errno qw(EINTR EIO :POSIX);

DESCRIPTION
     "Errno" defines and conditionally exports all the error con-
     stants defined in your system "errno.h" include file. It has
     a single export tag, ":POSIX", which will export all POSIX
     defined error numbers.

     "Errno" also makes "%!" magic such that each element of "%!"
     has a non-zero value only if $! is set to that value. For
     example:

	 use Errno;

	 unless (open(FH, "/fangorn/spouse")) {
	     if ($!{ENOENT}) {
		 warn "Get a wife!\n";
	     } else {
		 warn "This path is barred: $!";
	     }
	 }

     If a specified constant "EFOO" does not exist on the system,
     $!{EFOO} returns "".  You may use "exists $!{EFOO}" to check
     whether the constant is available on the system.

CAVEATS
     Importing a particular constant may not be very portable,
     because the import will fail on platforms that do not have
     that constant.  A more portable way to set $! to a valid
     value is to use:

	 if (exists &Errno::EFOO) {
	     $! = &Errno::EFOO;
	 }
