44 * G_UNIX_ERROR:
46 * Error domain for API in the "g_unix_" namespace. Note that there is
47 * no exported enumeration mapping %errno. Instead, all functions
48 * ensure that %errno is relevant. The code for all #G_UNIX_ERROR is
49 * always <literal>0</literal>, and the error message is always
50 * generated via g_strerror().
52 * It is expected that most code will not look at %errno from these
53 * APIs. Important cases where one would want to differentiate between
54 * errors are already covered by existing cross-platform GLib API,
55 * such as e.g. #GFile wrapping <literal>ENOENT</literal>. However, it is
56 * provided for completeness, at least.
