# 6.5 Standard Module `errno`

This module makes available standard errno system symbols. The value of each symbol is the corresponding integer value. The names and descriptions are borrowed from ``linux/include/errno.h`', which should be pretty all-inclusive. Of the following list, symbols that are not used on the current platform are not defined by the module.

The module also defines the dictionary variable `errorcode` which maps numeric error codes back to their symbol names, so that e.g. `errno.errorcode[errno.EPERM] == 'EPERM'`. To translate a numeric error code to an error message, use `os.strerror()`.
