The program was created for my own convenience when trying to pick an errno-code to be returned from some procedures in libraries that I am working on. If you find it helpful and install it regularly, then please send me a mail, it's good to know that all the work was for good - ye know, it takes quite some time to write the program, write packaging scripts, write doucmentation, maintain a webpage, and announce the result somewhere.

Furthermore, the list of "errno" codes is currently only testing the "#define"s as used on linux 2.4 - this should be extended. Other systems use some ENAMES not present in the linux asm/errno.h header, and they should be tested in the errno.c table. Therefore, if you find an errno symbol not covered so far, please send me a mail.

BTW, you can make your life a bit easier with the help of that errno2list.pl script. Put that on the errno.h of your system, implant the result at the front (!!) of the table in "errno.c". Then recompile, and type "./errno" (without arguments) to list all errno codes and symbols of your system. - Send me that list! - I can use it to check whether some errno symbol is present that I need to add to errno.c, so that it will be more complete even for your system.
