Hi Petr,

I suggest to rephrase the subject to something like "print error in
case". I kept reading "output error" and wondered what went wrong with
the output.

Do we have a valid errno value here? Would be useful to append the
strerror(3) description as well to see whether its ENOSYS, EINVAL etc.
