Old-Fashioned errno Handling

Old-Fashioned errno Handling — A few tricks which operate on the same type as errno, an int.

Synopsis

gboolean            gsk_errno_is_ignorable              (int errno_value);
int                 gsk_errno_from_fd                   (int fd);

Methods to determine in an errno is important, and to extract it from a file-descriptor that had an error.

gboolean            gsk_errno_is_ignorable              (int errno_value);

Determine whether an errno code is insignificant.

`errno_value` :	errno value.
Returns :	whether the error is a transient ignorable error.

int                 gsk_errno_from_fd                   (int fd);

Query the file descriptor for the last error which occurred on it.

`fd` :	a file descriptor.
Returns :	the errno code for the last error on the file descriptor.
