So printing a numeric value is quite useless when users actually run
into these errors -- which is why I like err() so much. How about using
strerror() instead?
Yes. using perror() does give better information. There are other
places in this file that use errno. How about I make that a separate
patch and catch all of them at once to use perror() as a follow-up
change? That way I fix all at once without adding more changes to
this patch.
Sounds good.
