Author Errno Identifer Comparison By System
Michael B Allen

I have written a small program to compare the available errno identifiers
on various systems. The output is the following:

http://www.ioplex.com/~miallen/errcmp.html

Unfortunately I only have access to two systems -- Linux 2.4 and OSX 10.3
(basically FreeBSD I think).

I would greatly appreciate it if people could email me their errno.h
files from various systems (minus the two I have of course). Specifically
I would like the section containing the identifer, numeric value, and
text description (e.g. #define EIO 5 /* I/O error */). Also, please
be certain to include the output of 'uname -a' so that I can properly
attribute the data.

I think this will make a nice reference. Personally I would like to
know the intersection of various error codes so that I might improve
the portability of my code that uses these identifiers.

Thanks,
Mike
