POPIS / INSTRUKCE

The integer errno is set by system calls (and some library functions) to indicate what went wrong. Its value is significant only when the call returned an error (usually -1), and a library function that does succeed is allowed to change errno.
 
Sometimes, when -1 is also a legal return value one has to zero errno before the call in order to detect possible errors.
 
errno is defined by the ISO C standard to be a modifiable lvalue of type int, and must not be explicitly declared; errno may be a macro. errno is thread-local; setting it in one thread does not affect its value in any other thread.
 
Valid error numbers are all non-zero; errno is never set to zero by any library function. All the error names specified by POSIX.1 must have distinct values.
 
POSIX.1 (2001 edition) lists the following symbolic error names. Of these, EDOM and ERANGE are in the ISO C standard. ISO C Amendment 1 defines the additional error number EILSEQ for coding errors in multibyte or wide characters.

NOTE

A common mistake is to do 

if (somecall() == -1) {
    printf("somecall() failed\n");
    if (errno == ...) { ... }
}
where errno no longer needs to have the value it had upon return from somecall(). If the value of errno should be preserved across a library call, it must be saved: 

if (somecall() == -1) {
    int errsv = errno;
    printf("somecall() failed\n");
    if (errsv == ...) { ... }
}
