Thanks all for the reply.
I checked and saw errno was set by some other function called earlier.
So I understand that we must not directly check only the errno after a system call.
Instead we must accompany the check with the return value of the function.
For instance:
Code:
fd = open(...)
if(fd = -1 &&  errno == ...)
{
  ....
}
