+.SH NAME
+errno
+\(em error return value
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <errno.h>
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The lvalue
+.IR errno
+is used by many functions to return error values.
+.P
+Many functions provide an error number in
+.IR errno ,
+which has type
+.BR int
+and is defined in
+.IR <errno.h> .
+The value of
+.IR errno
+shall be defined only after a call to a function for which it is
+explicitly stated to be set and until it is changed by the next
+function call or if the application assigns it a value. The value of
+.IR errno
+should only be examined when it is indicated to be valid by a
+function's return value. Applications shall obtain the definition of
+.IR errno
+by the inclusion of
+.IR <errno.h> .
+No function in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 shall set
+.IR errno
+to 0. The setting of
+.IR errno
+after a successful call to a function is unspecified unless the
+description of that function specifies that
+.IR errno
+shall not be modified.
+.P
+It is unspecified whether
+.IR errno
+is a macro or an identifier declared with external linkage. If a macro
+definition is suppressed in order to access an actual object, or a
+program defines an identifier with the name
+.IR errno ,
+the behavior is undefined.
+.P
+The symbolic values stored in
+.IR errno
+are documented in the ERRORS sections on all relevant pages.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+None.
+.SH ERRORS
+None.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+Previously both POSIX and X/Open documents were more restrictive than
+the ISO\ C standard in that they required
+.IR errno
+to be defined as an external variable, whereas the ISO\ C standard required only
+that
+.IR errno
+be defined as a modifiable lvalue with type
+.BR int .
+.P
+An application that needs to examine the value of
+.IR errno
+to determine the error should set it to 0 before a function call, then
+inspect it before a subsequent function call.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
