NAME
Unix::errno - Provide transparent access to errno
SYNOPSIS
use Unix::errno; # exports errno, set_errno
set_errno(2);
say errno; # No such file or directory (errno = 2)
say "failed: {errno}"; # failed: No such file or directory
say +errno; # 2
DESCRIPTION
This module provides access to the errno
variable that is available on
all Unix-like systems. Please note that in a threaded environment such as
Perl 6 is, the value of errno
is even more volatile than it has been
already. For now, this issue is ignored.
CAVEATS
Since setting of any "extern" variables is not supported yet by NativeCall
,
the setting of errno
is faked. If set_errno
is called, it will set
the value only in a shadow copy. That value will be returned As long as
the underlying "real" errno doesn't change (at which point that value
will be returned.
