errno.h

Go to the documentation of this file.

/* The <errno.h> header defines the numbers of the various errors that can
 * occur during program execution.  They are visible to user programs and 
 * should be small positive integers.  However, they are also used within 
 * MINIX, where they must be negative.  For example, the READ system call is 
 * executed internally by calling do_read().  This function returns either a 
 * (negative) error number or a (positive) number of bytes actually read.
 *
 * To solve the problem of having the error numbers be negative inside the
 * the system and positive outside, the following mechanism is used.  All the
 * definitions are are the form:
 *
 *      #define EPERM           (_SIGN 1)
 *
 * If the macro _SYSTEM is defined, then  _SIGN is set to "-", otherwise it is
 * set to "".  Thus when compiling the operating system, the  macro _SYSTEM
 * will be defined, setting EPERM to (- 1), whereas when when this
 * file is included in an ordinary user program, EPERM has the value ( 1).
