.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBTcl_SetErrno\fR and \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR provide portable access
to the \fBerrno\fR variable, which is used to record a POSIX error
code after system calls and other operations such as \fBTcl_Gets\fR.
These procedures are necessary because global variable accesses cannot
be made across module boundaries on some platforms.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetErrno\fR sets the \fBerrno\fR variable to the value of the
\fIerrorCode\fR argument
C procedures that wish to return error information to their callers
via \fBerrno\fR should call \fBTcl_SetErrno\fR rather than setting
\fBerrno\fR directly.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetErrno\fR returns the current value of \fBerrno\fR.
Procedures wishing to access \fBerrno\fR should call this procedure
instead of accessing \fBerrno\fR directly.
.PP
\fBTcl_ErrnoId\fR and \fBTcl_ErrnoMsg\fR return string
representations of \fBerrno\fR values.  \fBTcl_ErrnoId\fR
returns a machine-readable textual identifier such as
"EACCES" that corresponds to the current value of \fBerrno\fR.
\fBTcl_ErrnoMsg\fR returns a human-readable string such as
"permission denied" that corresponds to the value of its
\fIerrorCode\fR argument.  The \fIerrorCode\fR argument is
typically the value returned by \fBTcl_GetErrno\fR.
The strings returned by these functions are
statically allocated and the caller must not free or modify them.
