I can at least answer the first question. Install libc6-doc and either the standalone ``info'' package or ``emacs''. Then type ``info libc'' (or start emacs and go into info mode). Once there, find information about errno by hitting ``s'' and then typing ``errno''. I've been very impressed by the info docs in libc6-doc. It makes programming quite a bit easier. -- Nathan L.
