经常在调用linux 系统api 的时候会出现一些错误，比方说使用open() 、write() creat()之类的函数有些时候会返回-1，也就是调用失败。这个时候使用errno这个全局变量就相当有用了。
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd;
extern int errno;
if((fd = open("/dev/dsp",O_WRONLY)) < 0)
{
printf("errno=%d\n",errno);
}
exit(0);
}
假如 errno=13，则表示文件权限不足，需要提高权限。
