Indeed, that looks like most portability problems have been eliminated. > tho I haven't tried it on Solaris' /bin/sh. > Probably won't work. I don't have access. You can also test it with 'zsh', 'ksh', 'ash', and 'dash' on a glibc system. If it works with these shells, it will likely also pass with /bin/sh on various systems. Now, do you plan to convert this into a gnulib module? > One interesting thing I discovered: > > $ errno . | head -n4 ; echo '[...]';errno . | tail -n4 > looking for matches to: '.' > 1 (EPERM. . . . . ) == Operation not permitted > 2 (ENOENT . . . . ) == No such file or directory > 3 (ESRCH. . . . . ) == No such process > [...] > 130 (EOWNERDEAD . . ) == Owner died > 131 (ENOTRECOVERABLE) == State not recoverable > 132 (ERFKILL. . . . ) == Unknown error 132 It just means that your libc does not have the string for ERFKILL. This string was added in glibc/sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c on 2009-11-14. Bruno
