errno - look up errno names and descriptions


errno
{name-or-code}

errno
[-ls] [--list]

errno
[-s] [--search] {word}

errno
[-S] [--search-all-locales] {word}

errno looks up errno macro names, errno codes, and the corresponding descriptions. For example, if given ENOENT on a Linux system, it prints out the code 2 and the description "No such file or directory". If given the code 2, it prints ENOENT and the same description.

List all errno values.
Search for errors whose description contains all the given words (case-insensitive).
Like --search, but searches all installed locales.
