[ILUG] [TOTD] find error corresponding to number

Nice try guys. But what about errno's which are defined by expressions?

For instance, on a certain UNIX flavour you find things like:

  #define TCPERR          66
  #define EALREADY        (TCPERR+6)       /* Operation already in progress 
*/

(Note to SCO lawyers: the above have been subtly altered
to avoid any reckless Linux kernel hackers stealing your proprietary IP.).

I know, this is the iLug, but there are no guarantees about what
these constants will look like in future...

P.S. Kevin - why do you assume errno stops at 127 ?
