.SH NAME
Errno \- System errno constants
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& use Errno qw(EINTR EIO :POSIX);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Errno\*(C'\fR defines and conditionally exports all the error constants
defined in your system \fIerrno.h\fR include file. It has a single export
tag, \f(CW\*(C`:POSIX\*(C'\fR, which will export all POSIX defined error numbers.
.PP
On Windows, \f(CW\*(C`Errno\*(C'\fR also defines and conditionally exports all the
Winsock error constants defined in your system \fIWinError.h\fR include
file. These are included in a second export tag, \f(CW\*(C`:WINSOCK\*(C'\fR.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`Errno\*(C'\fR also makes \f(CW\*(C`%!\*(C'\fR magic such that each element of \f(CW\*(C`%!\*(C'\fR has a
non-zero value only if \f(CW$!\fR is set to that value. For example:
.PP
.Vb 8
\& my $fh;
\& unless (open($fh, "<", "/fangorn/spouse")) {
\& if ($!{ENOENT}) {
\& warn "Get a wife!\en";
\& } else {
\& warn "This path is barred: $!";
\& }
\& }
.Ve
.PP
If a specified constant \f(CW\*(C`EFOO\*(C'\fR does not exist on the system, \f(CW$!{EFOO}\fR
returns \f(CW""\fR. You may use \f(CW\*(C`exists $!{EFOO}\*(C'\fR to check whether the
constant is available on the system.
.PP
Perl automatically loads \f(CW\*(C`Errno\*(C'\fR the first time you use \f(CW\*(C`%!\*(C'\fR, so you don't
need an explicit \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR.
.SH CAVEATS
.IX Header "CAVEATS"
Importing a particular constant may not be very portable, because the
import will fail on platforms that do not have that constant. A more
portable way to set \f(CW$!\fR to a valid value is to use:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& if (exists &Errno::EFOO) {
\& $! = &Errno::EFOO;
\& }
.Ve
