DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 defers
to the ISO C standard.
The ISO C standard only requires the symbols [EDOM], [EILSEQ], and [ERANGE] to be defined.
The <errno.h> header shall provide a declaration for errno and give positive values for the following symbolic
constants. Their values shall be unique except as noted below.
