ID errno_name

DatatypeNot PIIcategoricalDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Symbolic name of a system error number from the C header errno.h, such as ENOENT. System calls and library functions on Unix-like systems set errno to one of these values. Programs and logs record the name because the number behind a name differs between systems. All names start with the letter E.
