Hi Jon,

Hello

Is this really positive?
Do you have some counter-evidence?
errno is an int, and the values I think are not
guaranteed to be positive (like with glibc). I work on a system where they
are all negative.
Error numbers are all positive. I don't understand your last sentence above.

Cheers,

Michael

      *  A positive error, if the asynchronous I/O operation failed. This is
the
         same value that would have been stored in the errno variable in the
case of
         a synchronous read(2), write(2), fsync(2), or fdatasync(2) call.

Best regards, Jon
