If stat() returns -1, THEN errno will be meaningful. Some implementations of libraries don't reset errno unless there actually was an error, meaning you might get the 'leftover' error of a previous call.

Hi, I need to look at a recent copy of /usr/include/errno.h from AIX 7.2 to check some symbols. In particular, I'm curious if it defines EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE. Can someone who has access to 7.2 please check for me? Thanks! (1 Reply)

Tcl_SetErrno(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_SetErrno(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_SetErrno, Tcl_GetErrno, Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg - manipulate errno to store and retrieve error codes
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
void
Tcl_SetErrno(errorCode)
int
Tcl_GetErrno()
CONST char *
Tcl_ErrnoId()
CONST char *
Tcl_ErrnoMsg(errorCode)
ARGUMENTS
int errorCode (in) A POSIX error code such as ENOENT.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tcl_SetErrno and Tcl_GetErrno provide portable access to the errno variable, which is used to record a POSIX error code after system calls
and other operations such as Tcl_Gets. These procedures are necessary because global variable accesses cannot be made across module bound-
aries on some platforms.
Tcl_SetErrno sets the errno variable to the value of the errorCode argument C procedures that wish to return error information to their
callers via errno should call Tcl_SetErrno rather than setting errno directly.
Tcl_GetErrno returns the current value of errno. Procedures wishing to access errno should call this procedure instead of accessing errno
directly.
Tcl_ErrnoId and Tcl_ErrnoMsg return string representations of errno values. Tcl_ErrnoId returns a machine-readable textual identifier such
as "EACCES" that corresponds to the current value of errno. Tcl_ErrnoMsg returns a human-readable string such as "permission denied" that
corresponds to the value of its errorCode argument. The errorCode argument is typically the value returned by Tcl_GetErrno. The strings
returned by these functions are statically allocated and the caller must not free or modify them.
KEYWORDS
errno, error code, global variables
